A top price for Nellie Mae Rowe
When the work Orange Mule Prancing, 1980 by Nellie Mae Rowe was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 22,500.00 (€ 19,643.79). This high result makes Orange Mule Prancing, 1980 the most expensive artwork by Nellie Mae Rowe that we have observed at auctions so far.
