Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In March this year Christies in New York held the auction Post-War to Present, which included the work Screaming to the Sun by Yayoi Kusama. Here, the upper estimate of USD 800,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 894,600.00 (€ 822,847.68). 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 März diesen Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War to Present durch, in der auch die Arbeit Screaming to the Sun von Yayoi Kusama zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 800.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 894.600,00 (€ 822.847,68) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
