This artwork by Dawit Abebe achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in February 2018. In the New Now auction, the work No. 2 Background 1 sold for USD 16,250.00 (€ 13,307.67) - well above the upper estimate of USD 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Dawit Abebe - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work No.2 Background 3, 2014, which sold at auction in October 2018 for GBP 25,000.00 (€ 28,192.29).
