Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Companionship in the Age of Loneliness by Kaws was sold in the From Japan with Love auction at Sothebys in London in October 2021. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 4,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 4,032.00 (€ 4,776.83). 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 leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit Companionship in the Age of Loneliness von Kaws wurde im Oktober 2021 in der Auktion From Japan with Love bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 4.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 4.032,00 (€ 4.776,83) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
