This artwork by Futura 2000 achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in July 2021. In the First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art auction, the work without title sold for USD 150,000.00 (€ 126,432.91) - well above the upper estimate of USD 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Futura 2000 - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in November last year for USD 302,400.00 (€ 292,938.10).
