The work Fat Without Guilt: Picnic by Robert Colescott was sold in the Post-War & Contemporary Art auction at Bonhams in New York in November this year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 35,840.00 (€ 32,856.62), 43% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Colescott achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work George Washington Carver Crossing The Delaware: Page From An American History Textbook in May 2021 with an auction result of USD 15,315,900.00 (€ 12,560,193.54).

Die Arbeit Fat Without Guilt: Picnic von Robert Colescott wurde im November diesen Jahres in der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 35.840,00 (€ 32.856,62) und damit 43% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Colescott erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit George Washington Carver Crossing The Delaware: Page From An American History Textbook im Mai 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 15.315.900,00 (€ 12.560.193,54).
