Upper estimate price exceeded by 54 %.
The work Tweety (Black; and Yellow) (Two Works) by Kaws was sold in the From Japan with Love auction at Sothebys in London in October 2021. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,772.00 (€ 3,284.07), 54% 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 54 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Tweety (Black; and Yellow) (Two Works) von Kaws wurde im Oktober 2021 in der Auktion From Japan with Love bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.772,00 (€ 3.284,07) und damit 54% 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).
