Auction result well in line with expectations

In May this year Christies in Hong Kong held the auction 21st Century Art Day Sale, which included the work Pumpkin by Yayoi Kusama. The price achieved of HKD 12,777,500.00 (€ 1,531,525.01) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 10,000,000.00 – 15,000,000.00. 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

Im Mai diesen Jahres führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion 21st Century Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Pumpkin von Yayoi Kusama zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 12.777.500,00 (€ 1.531.525,01) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 10.000.000,00 – 15.000.000,00 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).
