Upper estimate price exceeded by 38 %.
The work For My People by Elizabeth Catlett was sold in the Prints & Multiples auction at Bonhams in Los Angeles in September 2021. It achieved a price of USD 1,657.50 (€ 1,431.72), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 38%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Elizabeth Catlett achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Woman Fixing Her Hair in April 2014 with an auction result of USD 149,000.00 (€ 107,426.10).

Die Arbeit For My People von Elizabeth Catlett wurde im September 2021 in der Auktion Prints & Multiples bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 1.657,50 (€ 1.431,72) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 38%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Elizabeth Catlett erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Woman Fixing Her Hair im April 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 149.000,00 (€ 107.426,10).
