Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work To My Rescue by Godwin Champs Namuyimba was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 18,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 81,900.00 (€ 72,561.35). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Godwin Champs Namuyimba - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Connector, which sold at auction in November 2021 for HKD 1,323,000.00 (€ 147,104.19).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit To My Rescue von Godwin Champs Namuyimba im November 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 18.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 81.900,00 (€ 72.561,35) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Godwin Champs Namuyimba mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Connector beobachtet, die im November 2021 für HKD 1.323.000,00 (€ 147.104,19) versteigert wurde.
