Jonas Burgert’s artistic journey has been punctuated by multiple auction appearances, yielding a range of realized prices from 436 USD to an impressive 532,058 USD. The final value depends on the specific dimensions and medium of each artwork. Notably, a pivotal moment occurred in 2019 when his piece ‘Suchtpuls / Addicted to Pulse’ achieved a record-breaking auction price of 532,058 USD at Christie’s London.
