Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Undercover Bear (White) by Kaws was worth USD 3,000.00 (€ 2,751.03) to a buyer in September 2019. This price was achieved in the auction Contemporary Art Asia: Including a Collection of Works by Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 700.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kaws achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Kimpsons #1) in October 2019 with an auction result of HKD 57,877,000.00 (€ 6,615,255.49).
