Auction result misses estimated price range

In October last year a collector was able to acquire the work Play Balls by Blessing Ngobeni for GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,824.94). This price was achieved in the auction A Place With No Name: Works from the Sina Jina Collection at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00 set by the auction house. Other works by Blessing Ngobeni have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in June 2021 by the work Violent History, 2018 at EUR 8,808.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Oktober letzten Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Play Balls von Blessing Ngobeni für GBP 5.000,00 (€ 5.824,94) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion A Place With No Name: Works from the Sina Jina Collection bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 7.000,00 – 10.000,00. Andere Arbeiten von Blessing Ngobeni wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Juni 2021 die Arbeit Violent History, 2018 mit EUR 8.808,00.
