Description
YAYOI KUSAMA (B. 1929) Pumpkin screenprint in colors, on Arches paper, 2005, signed, titled and dated in pencil, numbered 69/380 (there were also three artist's proofs), published by ABE Publishing Ltd, Tokyo, Japan, with full margins, in very good condition, together with the accompanying book All Prints of Yayoi Kusama : 1974-2004 and the original slipcase, in the original artist's frame Image: 5 1 ⁄ 2 x 7 7 ⁄ 8 in. (140 x 200 mm.) Sheet: 8 1 ⁄ 4 x 10 5 ⁄ 8 in. (210 x 270 mm.)
Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Yayoi Kusama achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in July last year. In the Contemporary Edition auction, the work Pumpkin sold for USD 50,400.00 (€ 49,402.08) - well above the upper estimate of USD 25,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Yayoi Kusama erzielte im Juli letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Edition wurde die Arbeit Pumpkin für USD 50.400,00 (€ 49.402,08) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 25.000,00. 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).
