Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2018 Sothebys in London held the auction Modern & Contemporary African Art, which included the work South Africanthe Exile According To The Elder by Athi-Patra Ruga. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 21,250.00 (€ 24,194.30) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by Athi-Patra Ruga have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in June 2021 the work Uzukile The Elder, 2013 was auctioned for EUR 25,745.00.
