Over the course of the year, 158 Mr Doodle works were sold at public auction, with sales amounting to almost US$4.7 million. Then the pandemic hit and August 2020 saw Cox’s black inked doodles against an incandescent green background titled Spring (2019) sell for almost US$1 million at the Tokyo Chuo Auction. The sale was also promoted with a “live doodling event” in the city. The 52 new artworks cheekily took on historically recognised masterworks with titles such as Starry Doodle, Doodle Gothic, and The Doodle Girls of Avignon. According to Cox, it was this show that incited interest in collectors regarding his art.ĭuring December of the following year, a solo selling exhibition titled “Mr Doodle Invades” at Sotheby’s Hong Kong was completely sold out, at prices ranging from US$6,400 to US$25,640 per piece. There was also a Samsung branded activation. That year, in July, the artist had a solo show titled “Doodle World” at the Ara Art Center in Seoul, displaying canvases filled with international tourist sites, world leaders and instantly recognisable art such as the Mona Lisa, visually captured through his characteristic “graffiti spaghetti”.

Yet, in the Asian art world, the artist and his infinitely sprawling black squiggles featuring a whole host of anthropomorphic creatures and objects with little satirical social commentary, have been familiar since around 2015 with interest peaking from 2018 onwards.
Otherwise known as Sam Cox, the millennial British artist had “ never graced the wall of a New York gallery, blue chip art fair booth, or major Western museum programme” before May 2021. The answers could possibly lie in the phenomenon that is Mr Doodle (aka the Doodle Man).
