Sam Gilliam’s abstract works continue to draw steady interest in the secondary market nearly four years after his death, with recent auction results showing wide price variance depending on scale, medium, and provenance. Smaller works on paper or prints from the 1960s–1990s have typically realized between $3,000 and $20,000, while larger canvas or mixed-media pieces have cleared estimates in the mid-to-high six figures when they carry strong exhibition history. The October 7 sale of this particular “Untitled” will hinge on those same factors plus current buyer appetite for post-war American abstraction. Traders will watch pre-sale estimates and any last-minute provenance updates as the primary signals ahead of the hammer.
