Auction result well in line with expectations

In October 2013 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture, which included the work Geometric Abstraction (Untitled) by Rolph Scarlett. The price achieved of USD 26,250.00 (€ 19,309.99) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Admittedly, works by Rolph Scarlett have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work without title in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 87,500.00 (€ 77,276.34).
