This artwork by Titus Kaphar achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in Hong Kong in December 2020. In the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale in Association with Poly Auction auction, the work Well Kept sold for HKD 3,528,000.00 (€ 372,127.56) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 1,200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Titus Kaphar - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled III, which sold at auction in June 2021 for USD 1,058,500.00 (€ 893,399.73).
