This artwork by Rashid Johnson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in June last year. In the Post-War & Contemporary Art auction, the work Carver sold for GBP 264,900.00 (€ 307,738.45) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 150,000.00. Admittedly, works by Rashid Johnson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Surrender Painting "Sunshine" in November last year with an auction result of USD 3,000,000.00 (€ 2,906,131.94).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Rashid Johnson erzielte im Juni letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Carver für GBP 264.900,00 (€ 307.738,45) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 150.000,00.
