Upper estimate price exceeded by 33 %.
In December last year Christies in Hong Kong held the auction No Regrets: 20th/21st Century Art Online, which included the work Plush BFF x Dior (Pink and Black) by Kaws. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 119,700.00 (€ 14,344.31), 33% 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 33 % übertroffen
Im Dezember letzten Jahres führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion No Regrets: 20th/21st Century Art Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Plush BFF x Dior (Pink and Black) von Kaws zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 119.700,00 (€ 14.344,31) und damit 33% 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).
