Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work African street scene by Gerard Sekoto was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March last year. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 12,600.00 (€ 14,938.72). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gerard Sekoto achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of a man (Lentswana) in September 2018 with an auction result of GBP 380,750.00 (€ 427,631.20).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit African street scene von Gerard Sekoto kam im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 12.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 12.600,00 (€ 14.938,72) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gerard Sekoto erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of a man (Lentswana) im September 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 380.750,00 (€ 427.631,20).
