The work Brown Abstraction by Rolph Scarlett was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in August this year. It achieved a price of USD 6,400.00 (€ 5,904.60), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 28%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rolph Scarlett achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 87,500.00 (€ 77,276.34).
