Sold at the upper estimate price
The work The Monkey Wrench by Robert Colescott was auctioned at Phillips in New York in July 2020. The auction ended at the price of USD 50,000.00 (€ 42,466.45), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 35,000.00 – 50,000.00. 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 The Monkey Wrench von Robert Colescott kam im Juli 2020 bei Phillips in New York zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 42.466,45) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 35.000,00 – 50.000,00. 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).
