This artwork by Nara Yoshitomo achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in June 2021. In the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Afternoon Session auction, the work Absolut Vodka Bottle (Fuck bout everything! But I try to go...) sold for USD 201,600.00 (€ 170,155.30) - well above the upper estimate of USD 80,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nara Yoshitomo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Knife Behind Back in October 2019 with an auction result of HKD 195,969,000.00 (€ 22,398,966.83).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
