This artwork by Derek Fordjour achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November this year. In the 21st Century Evening Sale auction, the work Rhythm & Blues sold for USD 730,800.00 (€ 669,967.00) - well above the upper estimate of USD 350,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Derek Fordjour; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Ornithologist sold at auction in May last year with the realized price of USD 945,000.00 (€ 880,626.22).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
