Description
YAYOI KUSAMA (B. 1929) Pumpkin signed and dated ‘Yayoi Kusama 1983’ (lower right), titled in Japanese and numbered ‘16/75’ (lower left) screenprint image: 58.7 x 48.5 cm. (23 1/8 x 19 in.); sheet: 69 x 55.2 cm. (27 1/8 x 21 3/4 in.) Executed in 1983 edition 16/75
Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December last year Christies in Hong Kong held the auction No Regrets: 20th/21st Century Art Online, which included the work Pumpkin by Yayoi Kusama. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 693,000.00 (€ 83,045.99), 16% 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 leicht 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 von Yayoi Kusama zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 693.000,00 (€ 83.045,99) und damit 16% 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).
