Upper estimate price exceeded by 64 %.
The work Clean and Press by Red Grooms was sold in the From Daumier to Olitski: Select Works from The William Louis-Dreyfus Foundation and Family Collections auction at Sothebys in New York in September 2021. It achieved a price of USD 8,190.00 (€ 7,074.37), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 64%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Red Grooms achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Joltin' Joe Takes a Swing in May 2001 with an auction result of USD 70,500.00 (€ 83,382.61).
