Upper estimate price exceeded by 47 %.
The work The Me that I Adore (The Grand Set) by Yayoi Kusama was sold in the From Japan with Love auction at Sothebys in London in October 2021. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 8,820.00 (€ 10,449.32), 47% 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).

Die Arbeit The Me that I Adore (The Grand Set) von Yayoi Kusama wurde im Oktober 2021 in der Auktion From Japan with Love bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 8.820,00 (€ 10.449,32) und damit 47% 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).
