Rashid Johnson’s “Anxious Man” (2014), a large-scale ceramic-tile work in black soap, wax, and spray enamel from his signature series, heads to Sotheby’s Contemporary Curated sale on October 7 with a $400,000–600,000 estimate. The upcoming auction timing, paired with Johnson’s elevated visibility from the Guggenheim’s “A Poem for Deep Thinkers” retrospective that ran into early 2026 and his recent TIME100 Art recognition, underpins trader sentiment around whether the hammer price clears key thresholds above the low estimate. The Anxious Men motif remains a market staple with proven six- and seven-figure results for comparable originals, though single-panel 2014–2015 examples have historically landed closer to mid-range estimates amid broader contemporary art softening. Traders are watching pre-sale interest and any last-minute comparable results for signals on final realized price.
