The work The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual #1 by Rashid Johnson was auctioned at Christies in New York in September last year. It achieved a price of USD 25,200.00 (€ 25,758.97), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 26%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rashid Johnson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Surrender Painting "Sunshine" in November last year with an auction result of USD 3,000,000.00 (€ 2,906,131.94).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual #1 von Rashid Johnson kam im September letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 25.200,00 (€ 25.758,97) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 26%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rashid Johnson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Surrender Painting "Sunshine" im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.000.000,00 (€ 2.906.131,94).
