Sam Gilliam’s abstract works continue to draw steady interest in the post-war and contemporary market, with recent 2026 auction results showing realized prices ranging from low thousands for works on paper to over $150,000 for larger acrylic and collage pieces. An “Untitled” work is slated for sale on October 7, 2026, where comparable sales—such as a 1976 diptych fetching $157,500 and a 1977 canvas reaching $177,800—provide benchmarks against varying estimates. Trader focus centers on the specific lot’s scale, date, and medium, as well as any last-minute condition reports or provenance details that could shift bidding momentum ahead of the hammer.
