Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Jean-Michel Basquiat achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in November 2021. In the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale auction, the work Untitled (from Famous Negro Athlete Series) sold for USD 2,450,000.00 (€ 2,170,638.79) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,100,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean-Michel Basquiat achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in May 2017 with an auction result of USD 110,487,500.00 (€ 98,333,481.67).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jean-Michel Basquiat erzielte im November 2021 bei Phillips in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale wurde die Arbeit Untitled (from Famous Negro Athlete Series) für USD 2.450.000,00 (€ 2.170.638,79) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 1.100.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean-Michel Basquiat erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 110.487.500,00 (€ 98.333.481,67).
