Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Lone Wolf by Robert Colescott was sold in the Contemporary Art | New York auction at Sothebys in New York in December 2021. The price achieved of USD 22,680.00 (€ 20,038.88) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Lone Wolf von Robert Colescott wurde im Dezember 2021 in der Auktion Contemporary Art | New York bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 22.680,00 (€ 20.038,88) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
