Description

Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
In December last year Christies in Hong Kong held the auction No Regrets: 20th/21st Century Art Online, which included the work Pumpkin (RY) by Yayoi Kusama. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 327,600.00 (€ 39,258.10), 26% 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 26 % übertroffen
Im Dezember letzten Jahres führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion No Regrets: 20th/21st Century Art Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Pumpkin (RY) von Yayoi Kusama zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 327.600,00 (€ 39.258,10) und damit 26% 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).
