The work Undercover Bear (White) & Undercover Bear (Black) by Kaws was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in April this year. It achieved a price of HKD 16,380.00 (€ 16,727.18), 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 37 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Undercover Bear (White) & Undercover Bear (Black) von Kaws kam im April diesen Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von HKD 16.380,00 (€ 16.727,18) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 37%. 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).
