The work Focus II by Sam Gilliam was sold in the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Morning Session auction at Phillips in New York in May this year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 88,900.00 (€ 83,442.84), 27% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sam Gilliam achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lady Day II in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 2,172,500.00 (€ 1,918,661.13).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 27 % übertroffen
