Artwork auctioned at 30 times the upper estimate price
The work Bed In For Peace by John Lennon was worth USD 15,120.00 (€ 12,981.88) to a buyer in October 2020. This price was achieved in the auction Dear Keith: Works from the Personal Collection of Keith Haring at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 500.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Lennon - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bag One, which sold at auction in November 2016 for USD 52,500.00 (€ 49,631.31).
