In November 2020 Bonhams in London held the auction Modern & Contemporary African Art Online sale, which included the work Shida Hii Ya Maji Haitaisha Mapa Tuchimbe Kisima Chetu Hapa Kijijini (1998) by George Lilanga di Nyama. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,530.00 (€ 1,708.00), 53% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by George Lilanga di Nyama have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work 'Man Wears Glasses To See His Relatives' and 'Every Body Eats His Own Food' in March 2019 with an auction result of GBP 7,562.00 (€ 8,776.98).
