Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Kai Althoff achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in May last year. In the Contemporary Day Auction auction, the work Ashley's sold for USD 453,600.00 (€ 422,700.59) - well above the upper estimate of USD 180,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Kai Althoff; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Antonius Eremita sold at auction in October 2018 with the realized price of GBP 682,000.00 (€ 769,085.60).
