Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Afrika could be acquired at Bonhams in March this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Modern & Contemporary Art | Bonhams Skinner auction, the work Anufriev Does Exist... sight size 15 1/4 x 30 3/4 in. (38.7 x 78.1 cm) framed 22 1/2 x 38 x 1 in. changed hands for USD 280.50 (€ 258.00) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 400.00 – 600.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Afrika achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Malevich! in February 2007 with an auction result of GBP 30,000.00 (€ 44,473.92).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Afrika konnte im März diesen Jahres bei Bonhams für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Modern & Contemporary Art | Bonhams Skinner wechselte die Arbeit Anufriev Does Exist... sight size 15 1/4 x 30 3/4 in. (38.7 x 78.1 cm) framed 22 1/2 x 38 x 1 in. für USD 280,50 (€ 258,00) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 400,00 – 600,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Afrika erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Malevich! im Februar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 30.000,00 (€ 44.473,92).
