How much is a Sam Gilliam painting worth?
1 Answer
How much a Sam Gilliam painting is worth depends on its history, size, condition and other factors. In 2018, the artist’s acrylic on canvas painting Lady Day II sold for more than $2.1 million at auction in New York City. Postwar American artist Sam Gilliam was an innovative Color Field painter and lyrical abstractionist perhaps best known for working directly on draped, unprimed canvases freed from their stretcher bars as early as the mid-1960s. In 1972, Gilliam became the first Black artist to represent the United States at the Venice Biennale. If you own a Gilliam painting, a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer can assist you with the valuation process. Explore an assortment of Sam Gilliam art on 1stDibs.
