The work Afro Lunar Lovers I by Chris Ofili was auctioned at Phillips in London in January 2024. It achieved a price of GBP 3,048.00 (€ 5,101.31), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 69%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Chris Ofili achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Holy Virgin Mary in June 2015 with an auction result of GBP 2,882,500.00 (€ 4,064,288.82).
