Artwork auctioned at nine times the upper estimate price
The work Commemorative Plaque by Tom Otterness was worth USD 4,788.00 (€ 4,110.93) to a buyer in October 2020. This price was achieved in the auction Dear Keith: Works from the Personal Collection of Keith Haring at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 500.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Tom Otterness achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Large Bear in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 1,512,500.00 (€ 1,335,776.74).
