Upper estimate price exceeded by 91 %.
This artwork by Yayoi Kusama achieved an unexpectedly high price at China Guardian in October 2021. In the Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art auction, the work Pumpkin No.2(Conceived In 1988 And Casted In 1994) sold for HKD 420,000.00 (€ 46,719.18) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 220,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Yayoi Kusama erzielte im Oktober 2021 bei China Guardian einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Pumpkin No.2(Conceived In 1988 And Casted In 1994) für HKD 420.000,00 (€ 46.719,18) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 220.000,00. 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).
