In November 2013 Sothebys in New York held the auction Nov 2013 Contemporary Evening, which included the work Untitled (Yellow Tar And Feathers) by Jean-Michel Basquiat. The »bidding war« ended at USD 25,925,000.00 (€ 19,054,093.78), 30% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Jean-Michel Basquiat have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work without title in May 2017 with an auction result of USD 110,487,500.00 (€ 98,333,481.67).

Im November 2013 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Nov 2013 Contemporary Evening durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled (Yellow Tar And Feathers) von Jean-Michel Basquiat zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 25.925.000,00 (€ 19.054.093,78) und damit 30% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jean-Michel Basquiat auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit ohne Titel im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 110.487.500,00 (€ 98.333.481,67).
