The work Ohne titel (ORLD'S RAREST AND MOTHS) by Kurt Schwitters was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2017. It achieved a price of USD 444,500.00 (€ 373,592.20), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 48%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kurt Schwitters achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ja - Was? - Bild in June 2014 with an auction result of GBP 13,970,500.00 (€ 17,455,471.33).
