Upper estimate price exceeded by 60 %.
In December last year Christies in Hong Kong held the auction 21st Century Art Day Sale, which included the work Yellow Vase by Yayoi Kusama. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 10,410,000.00 (€ 1,247,487.38), 60% 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 60 % übertroffen
Im Dezember letzten Jahres führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion 21st Century Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Yellow Vase von Yayoi Kusama zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 10.410.000,00 (€ 1.247.487,38) und damit 60% 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).
