Upper estimate price exceeded by 89 %.
This artwork by Kaws achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in April last year. In the No Regrets: 20/21 Art Online: All Editions auction, the work COMPANION (BROWN) sold for HKD 3,780.00 (€ 457.03) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 2,000.00. 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 89 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Kaws erzielte im April letzten Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion No Regrets: 20/21 Art Online: All Editions wurde die Arbeit COMPANION (BROWN) für HKD 3.780,00 (€ 457,03) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 2.000,00. 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).
