Upper estimate price exceeded by 40 %.
This work without title by Gerard Sekoto was sold in the Modern & Contemporary African Art auction at Bonhams in London in October last year. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 28,020.00 (€ 32,642.99), 40% above the upper estimate. 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 um 40 % übertroffen
Diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Gerard Sekoto wurde im Oktober letzten Jahres in der Auktion Modern & Contemporary African Art bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 28.020,00 (€ 32.642,99) und damit 40% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
