In October 2015 Phillips in New York held the auction Innovators of Photography: A Private East Coast Collection, which included the work Afro Goddess with Hand Between Legs by Mickalene Thomas. The »bidding war« ended at USD 8,750.00 (€ 7,924.29), 46% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mickalene Thomas achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Racquel Reclining Wearing Purple Jumpsuit in May 2021 with an auction result of USD 1,830,000.00 (€ 1,500,738.07).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 46 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2015 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Innovators of Photography: A Private East Coast Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Afro Goddess with Hand Between Legs von Mickalene Thomas zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 8.750,00 (€ 7.924,29) und damit 46% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mickalene Thomas erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Racquel Reclining Wearing Purple Jumpsuit im Mai 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.830.000,00 (€ 1.500.738,07).
