How much is a Mickalene Thomas artwork?

The prices for Mickalene Thomas’s artworks in the primary market—where a piece is sold directly to a customer by her gallery—are private, but the sums paid for Thomas’s art in the secondary market, such as at an auction, are available. Her work usually sells at auction for an average of $105,000. The highest paid was $1.8 million, which was achieved at Christie’s in New York City in 2021 by the collage Racquel Reclining Wearing Purple Jumpsuit (2016).
