Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Falling Star, from Eight Lithographs to Benefit the Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts, Inc. (SF-336) (G. 953, L. L249) by Sam Francis was sold in the Editions & Works on Paper auction at Phillips in New York in April 2021. It achieved a price of USD 2,394.00 (€ 1,990.02), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sam Francis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Composition in Blue and Black in November last year with an auction result of USD 13,557,500.00 (€ 13,133,294.58).
