Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Abstract Shapes by Joseph Ntensibe was sold in the Modern and Contemporary Art and Photography from Africa and the Diaspora auction at Bonhams in New York in July last year. 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 8,925.00 (€ 8,748.28) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joseph Ntensibe achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Rejuvenation in March 2021 with an auction result of GBP 81,500.00 (€ 95,741.51).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Abstract Shapes von Joseph Ntensibe wurde im Juli letzten Jahres in der Auktion Modern and Contemporary Art and Photography from Africa and the Diaspora bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 8.925,00 (€ 8.748,28) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joseph Ntensibe erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Rejuvenation im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 81.500,00 (€ 95.741,51).
