Upper estimate price exceeded by 44 %.
The work BFF (Black Edition; and MoMA Exclusive) (Two Works) by Kaws was sold in the From Japan with Love auction at Sothebys in London in October 2021. It achieved a price of GBP 1,008.00 (€ 1,194.21), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 44%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kaws achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Kimpsons #1) in October 2019 with an auction result of HKD 57,877,000.00 (€ 6,615,255.49).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 44 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit BFF (Black Edition; and MoMA Exclusive) (Two Works) von Kaws wurde im Oktober 2021 in der Auktion From Japan with Love bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 1.008,00 (€ 1.194,21) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 44%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kaws erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (Kimpsons #1) im Oktober 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 57.877.000,00 (€ 6.615.255,49).
