Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In June 2020 Christies in Paris held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art, which included the work Purification I by Barthélémy Toguo. Here, the upper estimate of EUR 7,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for EUR 7,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Barthélémy Toguo - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work What'S Your Name, 2003, which sold at auction in December 2021 for MAD 260,000.00 (€ 24,580.31).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im Juni 2020 führte Christies in Paris die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Purification I von Barthélémy Toguo zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von EUR 7.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für EUR 7.500,00 einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Barthélémy Toguo mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit What'S Your Name, 2003 beobachtet, die im Dezember 2021 für MAD 260.000,00 (€ 24.580,31) versteigert wurde.
