This artwork by Paul Rusconi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in November 2009. In the Contemporary Art Part II auction, the work Barack Obama sold for USD 20,000.00 (€ 13,338.67) - well above the upper estimate of USD 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Paul Rusconi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (Corey Duffel), which sold at auction in September 2011 for USD 71,500.00 (€ 53,163.80).
