This artwork by William Dawson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2018. In the Beyond Imagination: Outsider and Vernacular Art Featuring the Collection of Marjorie and Harvey Freed auction, the work Two Drawings, 1970s sold for USD 875.00 (€ 704.06) - well above the upper estimate of USD 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Dawson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Cowboy, 1976 in January 2018 with an auction result of USD 11,250.00 (€ 9,052.14).
