Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Provocation by Abiodun Olaku was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March last year. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 5,040.00 (€ 5,975.49). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Abiodun Olaku - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work "Elemental Notes", which sold at auction in March 2021 for GBP 14,000.00 (€ 16,446.39).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Provocation von Abiodun Olaku kam im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 5.040,00 (€ 5.975,49) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Abiodun Olaku mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit "Elemental Notes" beobachtet, die im März 2021 für GBP 14.000,00 (€ 16.446,39) versteigert wurde.
