The work Star Wars Boba Fett Companion; & Star Wars Stormtrooper Companion (Two Works) by Kaws was sold in the NO REGRETS: 20th/21st Century Art Online Sale auction at Christies in Hong Kong in April this year. It achieved a price of HKD 81,900.00 (€ 83,635.92), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 37%. 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).
