Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Self-Portrait by Yayoi Kusama was sold in the No Regrets: 20/21 Art Online: All Editions auction at Christies in Hong Kong in April last year. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 119,700.00 (€ 14,472.60), 20% 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
Die Arbeit Self-Portrait von Yayoi Kusama wurde im April letzten Jahres in der Auktion No Regrets: 20/21 Art Online: All Editions bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 119.700,00 (€ 14.472,60) und damit 20% 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).
