Auction result well in line with expectations
The work I Who Sing in Celebration of Humanity by Yayoi Kusama was sold in the Disruptors: Evening Sale of 20th Century & Contemporary Art, Design and Watches auction at Phillips in Hong Kong in May this year. The price achieved of HKD 8,509,000.00 (€ 1,019,897.97) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 7,500,000.00 – 9,500,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yayoi Kusama achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Pumpkin in April this year with an auction result of HKD 30,000,000.00 (€ 30,635,869.57).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit I Who Sing in Celebration of Humanity von Yayoi Kusama wurde im Mai diesen Jahres in der Auktion Disruptors: Evening Sale of 20th Century & Contemporary Art, Design and Watches bei Phillips in Hong Kong versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 8.509.000,00 (€ 1.019.897,97) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 7.500.000,00 – 9.500.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Yayoi Kusama erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Pumpkin im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 30.000.000,00 (€ 30.635.869,57).
