The work Pumkpin - Black by Yayoi Kusama was sold in the Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints Including Andy Warhol & the Pop Generation auction at Sothebys in London in March 2007. It achieved a price of GBP 6,600.00 (€ 9,714.45), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 47%. 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 Pumkpin - Black von Yayoi Kusama wurde im März 2007 in der Auktion Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints Including Andy Warhol & the Pop Generation bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 6.600,00 (€ 9.714,45) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 47%. 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).
