Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Mkpuk Eba and Coiling Penny Penny by J. D. 'Okhai Ojeikere was sold in the Photographs auction at Phillips in New York in April 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 8,125.00 (€ 7,253.82) could thus just exceed the lower estimate.
