NEW YORK, NY
.-Swann Galleries spring offering of African American Art on Thursday, April 22 was the second highest grossing sale in the thirteen-year history of the department, with its highest number of participants to date. I am thrilled to see the continued growth in our African American art auctions with a tremendous sale. 398 registered bidders (not counting those on other platforms) competed for 8 hours to bid on 220 lots. We set 13 artist records and saw high prices all around for many artists, noted department director, Nigel Freeman.
