A top price for Afewerk Tekle

In October 2018 Sothebys in London held the auction Modern & Contemporary African Art, which included the work Ethiopian defender Of His Country by Afewerk Tekle. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 32,500.00 (€ 36,649.97), 63% above the upper estimate. This high result makes Ethiopian defender Of His Country the most expensive artwork by Afewerk Tekle that we have observed at auctions so far.
