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).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 38 % übertroffen
