Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Temptation of St. Anthony II by Robert Colescott was sold in the First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art auction at Christies in New York in July 2021. The auction ended at the price of USD 15,000.00 (€ 12,643.29), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. 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).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Temptation of St. Anthony II von Robert Colescott wurde im Juli 2021 in der Auktion First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 12.643,29) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. 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).
