Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Were ndiomwiza na maji yangu ('You are my water source') by George Lilanga di Nyama was sold in the Modern & Contemporary African Art Online Sale auction at Bonhams in London in April 2021. The price achieved of GBP 1,275.00 (€ 1,466.62) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. 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).
