Upper estimate price exceeded by 53 %.

The work UNTITLED POSTCARDS, 6 by Kaws was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2021. It achieved a price of USD 10,710.00 (€ 9,271.12), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 53%. 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 53 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit UNTITLED POSTCARDS, 6 von Kaws kam im Oktober 2021 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 10.710,00 (€ 9.271,12) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 53%.

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).
