Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Toucan by Aubrey Williams was sold in the Modern and Contemporary Art and Photography from Africa and the Diaspora auction at Bonhams in New York in July last year. Here, the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 3,187.50 (€ 3,124.39). Admittedly, works by Aubrey Williams have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Orinoco I in March last year with an auction result of GBP 17,640.00 (€ 20,914.21).

Die Arbeit Toucan von Aubrey Williams wurde im Juli letzten Jahres in der Auktion Modern and Contemporary Art and Photography from Africa and the Diaspora bei Bonhams in New York versteigert.

Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Aubrey Williams auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Orinoco I im März letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 17.640,00 (€ 20.914,21).
