Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2019 Sothebys in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary African Art, which included the work See, Hear, Say No Evil by Afewerk Tekle. The price achieved of GBP 11,875.00 (€ 13,774.15) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Afewerk Tekle - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ethiopian defender Of His Country, which sold at auction in October 2018 for GBP 32,500.00 (€ 36,649.97).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2019 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Modern and Contemporary African Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit See, Hear, Say No Evil von Afewerk Tekle zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 11.875,00 (€ 13.774,15) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Afewerk Tekle mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Ethiopian defender Of His Country beobachtet, die im Oktober 2018 für GBP 32.500,00 (€ 36.649,97) versteigert wurde.
