Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Sumi Painting, circa 1958 by Robert Colescott was sold in the Post-War & Contemporary Art X Made in California Part II Online auction at Bonhams in September this year. The price achieved of USD 2,560.00 (€ 2,418.75) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. 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 Sumi Painting, circa 1958 von Robert Colescott wurde im September diesen Jahres in der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art X Made in California Part II Online bei Bonhams versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 2.560,00 (€ 2.418,75) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 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).
