Beauford at Phillips Auction House

Two Beauford Delaney works from the Royall Collection will be offered at auction during Phillips' December 7, 2020 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale.

The late William Royall and his wife, accumulated numerous works by African American artists, including Amy Sherald and Mickalene Thomas. Thirty-three (33) pieces from their collection will be auctioned next month.

I plan to publish images and details about the Beauford Delaney works for sale in a future blog post.

Today, I'm (re)sharing images of works by Beauford that Phillips has sold in the past. Just two years ago, they offered three of Beauford's abstracts - two oils and one gouache on paper - for purchase at two auctions.

In the 26 September 2018 sale, the gouache on paper sold for $15,000 (highest estimated price - $12,000).
