Rashid Johnson's “Anxious Man,” a 2014 ceramic tile, wax, and spray enamel work from his signature Anxious Men series, heads to Sotheby’s Contemporary Curated auction on October 7, 2026, with a 400,000–600,000 USD estimate. Trader focus centers on whether strong institutional visibility from the ongoing Guggenheim-organized retrospective “A Poem for Deep Thinkers”—which surveys nearly three decades of work and travels through late 2026—plus his recent TIME100 Art recognition will lift results above the high estimate. Comparable Anxious Men pieces have shown mixed performance amid broader contemporary market softness, with some prints and smaller works exceeding estimates while larger examples face volatility. Key resolution hinges on presale interest, bidding competition, and any last-minute market signals before the hammer falls.
