Upper estimate price exceeded by 37 %.
In October 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Public Intervention: Art of the Street, which included the work SKETCHBOOK by Kaws. The »bidding war« ended at USD 75,600.00 (€ 65,443.21), 37% 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 37 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Public Intervention: Art of the Street durch, in der auch die Arbeit SKETCHBOOK von Kaws zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 75.600,00 (€ 65.443,21) und damit 37% 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).
