Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Street Scene by Jacob Lawrence was sold in the 20th c. and Contemporary Art Day Sale - Morning Session auction at Phillips in New York in December 2020. The »bidding war« ended at USD 69,300.00 (€ 56,663.94), 16% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jacob Lawrence achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Businessmen in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 6,169,800.00 (€ 5,448,909.30).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 69.300,00 (€ 56.663,94) und damit 16% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jacob Lawrence erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Businessmen im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.169.800,00 (€ 5.448.909,30).
