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.
