Upper estimate price exceeded by 51 %.
The work Crocodile in the Sewer by Robert Colescott was auctioned at Phillips in New York in May last year. It achieved a price of USD 52,920.00 (€ 49,315.07), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 51%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Colescott achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work George Washington Carver Crossing The Delaware: Page From An American History Textbook in May 2021 with an auction result of USD 15,315,900.00 (€ 12,560,193.54).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 51 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Crocodile in the Sewer von Robert Colescott kam im Mai letzten Jahres bei Phillips in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 52.920,00 (€ 49.315,07) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 51%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Colescott erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit George Washington Carver Crossing The Delaware: Page From An American History Textbook im Mai 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 15.315.900,00 (€ 12.560.193,54).
