Auction result well in line with expectations

In November last year Phillips in New York held the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale, which included the work Pink Shorts by Amoako Boafo. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 400,000.00 – 600,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 403,200.00 (€ 390,584.13) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Amoako Boafo have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Hands Up in December 2021 with an auction result of HKD 26,650,000.00 (€ 3,018,669.38).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im November letzten Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Pink Shorts von Amoako Boafo zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 400.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 403.200,00 (€ 390.584,13) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Amoako Boafo auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Hands Up im Dezember 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 26.650.000,00 (€ 3.018.669,38).
