Upper estimate price exceeded by 98 %.
This artwork by Mr. Brainwash achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in December 2021. In the Contemporary Art | New York auction, the work Life is Beautiful sold for USD 69,300.00 (€ 61,229.90) - well above the upper estimate of USD 35,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Mr. Brainwash; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Charlie Chaplin Pink sold at auction in May 2010 with the realized price of USD 122,500.00 (€ 99,037.92).
