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 Africanking And Two Councillors by Cecil Skotnes. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 16,250.00 (€ 18,501.52) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cecil Skotnes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Shaka Zulu, which sold at auction in May 2019 for USD 43,825.00 (€ 39,308.46).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2018 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Modern & Contemporary African Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit South Africanking And Two Councillors von Cecil Skotnes zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 16.250,00 (€ 18.501,52) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Cecil Skotnes mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Shaka Zulu beobachtet, die im Mai 2019 für USD 43.825,00 (€ 39.308,46) versteigert wurde.
