Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.
In April last year Christies in Hong Kong held the auction No Regrets: 20/21 Art Online: All Editions, which included the work Companion (Resting Place) (Red; Black; & Grey) by Kaws. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 63,000.00 (€ 7,617.16), 58% above the upper estimate. 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 58 % übertroffen
Im April letzten Jahres führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion No Regrets: 20/21 Art Online: All Editions durch, in der auch die Arbeit Companion (Resting Place) (Red; Black; & Grey) von Kaws zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 63.000,00 (€ 7.617,16) und damit 58% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
