Upper estimate price exceeded by 51 %.
In October 2021 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included the work The Evening Glow, Facing the Imminent Death by Yayoi Kusama. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 3,780,000.00 (€ 420,472.65), 51% 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 um 51 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2021 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Evening Glow, Facing the Imminent Death von Yayoi Kusama zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 3.780.000,00 (€ 420.472,65) und damit 51% 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).
