This artwork by Nick Cave achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in November 2019. In the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction, the work Soundsuit sold for USD 150,000.00 (€ 136,128.51) - well above the upper estimate of USD 80,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Nick Cave; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Soundsuit sold at auction in May 2021 with the realized price of USD 189,000.00 (€ 154,994.26).
