In November 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Day Auction, which included the work Thom 1, Jet Blue 1 by Mickalene Thomas. The »bidding war« ended at USD 504,000.00 (€ 446,531.41), 68% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mickalene Thomas - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Racquel Reclining Wearing Purple Jumpsuit, which sold at auction in May 2021 for USD 1,830,000.00 (€ 1,500,738.07).

Im November 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Thom 1, Jet Blue 1 von Mickalene Thomas zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 504.000,00 (€ 446.531,41) und damit 68% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Mickalene Thomas mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Racquel Reclining Wearing Purple Jumpsuit beobachtet, die im Mai 2021 für USD 1.830.000,00 (€ 1.500.738,07) versteigert wurde.
