Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Village Market by Akinola Lasekan was auctioned at Sothebys in London in October 2021. The price achieved of GBP 12,600.00 (€ 14,927.60) 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 Akinola Lasekan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of a girl wearing a headscarf, which sold at auction in March 2020 for GBP 43,812.00 (€ 49,472.72).
