Upper estimate price exceeded by 69 %.
In June last year Bonhams in London held the auction Prints and Multiples, which included the work Pumpkin 2000 (Red) by Yayoi Kusama. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 50,700.00 (€ 58,898.98), 69% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 69 % übertroffen
Im Juni letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Prints and Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Pumpkin 2000 (Red) von Yayoi Kusama zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 50.700,00 (€ 58.898,98) und damit 69% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
