Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Creation by Alexander Boghossian was sold in the Modern and Contemporary African Art auction at Sothebys in London in October 2021. The price achieved of GBP 50,400.00 (€ 59,710.39) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alexander Boghossian - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Blue Composition, which sold at auction in May 2019 for USD 175,075.00 (€ 157,032.02).
