~JOE BRADLEY . . OUTPERFORMING THE MARKET / PHILLIPS EVENING SALE THURS NOV 16 / UP-DATE

the JOE BRADLEY painting . . sold for $700,000.
not bad. $100,000 below the minimum, but considering that he was the youngest on the roster, and still alive (!!)
that’s still plenty amazing.
many of his contemporaries don’t even get $10,000 a pop, maybe highest . . $20,000. in special cases $30,000 / $40,000.
let alone have a secondary, & we are talking, vibrant secondary market.
and it was probably a very nice windfall for the seller, who most likely didn’t pay anywhere near, or maybe . . just $100,000 for it / at the most 6 years ago.

I mean even PETER DOIG is . . 58.
JOHN CURRIN, born in 1962 is . . 55.
KARA WALKER, born in 1969 is . . 48.
JOE, born in 1975 is . . 42.

JOE BRADLEY . . .
OUTPERFORMING THE MARKET, HIS PEERS, HIS FRIENDS, and probably . . . HIS DREAMS !!
