Kravets Wehby Gallery, New York | Acquired from the above by the present owner
Upper estimate price exceeded by 56 %.
In December 2020 Christies in New York held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Featuring The Collection of Morton and Barbara Mandel, which included the work I grew an extra head to watch over my brother (The Middle of Nowhere) by Vaughn Spann. The »bidding war« ended at USD 187,500.00 (€ 153,311.53), 56% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Vaughn Spann; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Big Black Rainbow (Deep Dive) sold at auction in December 2020 with the realized price of USD 239,400.00 (€ 195,748.16).
