Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Red and blue painting for the red and blue studio #2 with foot painting (Orange Basquiat Head) by Spencer Lewis was sold in the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale auction at Christies in London in October this year. The price achieved of GBP 31,500.00 (€ 36,170.75) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Spencer Lewis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in May this year for USD 113,400.00 (€ 106,438.90).
