Auction result well in line with expectations
In August 2021 Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction Modern Native American ArtFeaturing the Wendy and Les Fisher Collection of Canadian Inuit Sculpture, which included the work A Kenojuak Ashevak, C.C., R.C.A., Felt Tip Drawing by Kenojuak Ashevak. The price achieved of USD 2,040.00 (€ 1,728.81) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kenojuak Ashevak - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Kenojuak Ashevak Stonecut, "Dream," 1963, which sold at auction in August 2021 for USD 5,355.00 (€ 4,538.14).
