Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

The work Open Mind / Mente Abierta by Yoan Capote was worth USD 25,000.00 (€ 20,473.34) to a buyer in February 2018. This price was achieved in the auction New Now at Phillips in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 5,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yoan Capote achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Isla (in memoriam) in September last year with an auction result of USD 201,600.00 (€ 206,071.76).
