Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Gift of the Sea by Robert Colescott was sold in the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale auction at Phillips in New York in June 2021. Here, the upper estimate of USD 500,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 504,000.00 (€ 425,388.25). 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Gift of the Sea von Robert Colescott wurde im Juni 2021 in der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale bei Phillips in New York versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 500.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 504.000,00 (€ 425.388,25) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
