Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Kingsley Obasi could be acquired at Bonhams in London in October last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Modern & Contemporary African Art auction, this work without title changed hands for GBP 3,187.50 (€ 3,713.40) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kingsley Obasi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sans titre, 2021, which sold at auction in October last year for EUR 10,496.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Kingsley Obasi konnte im Oktober letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Modern & Contemporary African Art wechselte diese Arbeit ohne Titel für GBP 3.187,50 (€ 3.713,40) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 8.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Kingsley Obasi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sans titre, 2021 beobachtet, die im Oktober letzten Jahres für EUR 10.496,00 versteigert wurde.
