A top price for George Lilanga - as previously expected
The work Kuishi Mjini Isiwe Sababu Ya Kusaau Ulikotoka (They are discussing past stories) by George Lilanga was sold in the Phillips x Artsy: Summer School 2018 auction at Phillips in an online auction in July 2018. The price achieved of USD 6,875.00 (€ 5,873.06) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Kuishi Mjini Isiwe Sababu Ya Kusaau Ulikotoka (They are discussing past stories) is the most expensive artwork by George Lilanga that we have observed at auctions so far.
