A top price for Magdalene Odundo

When this work without title by Magdalene Odundo was auctioned at Sothebys in London in June 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 90,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 378,000.00 (€ 440,468.26). This high result makes the work without title the most expensive artwork by Magdalene Odundo that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Magdalene Odundo

Als die Arbeit ohne Titel von Magdalene Odundo im Juni 2021 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 90.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 378.000,00 (€ 440.468,26) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht das Werk ohne Titel zum teuersten Kunstwerk von Magdalene Odundo, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
