In May 2018 Phillips in New York held the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Morning Session, which included the work Shadow of Key No. 283 by Jiro Takamatsu. The »bidding war« ended at USD 150,000.00 (€ 128,534.70), 50% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jiro Takamatsu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Shadow No. 1391, which sold at auction in November 2016 for USD 538,000.00 (€ 508,602.76).
