The work The Egg by Kudzanai-Violet Hwami was sold in the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale in Association with Poly Auction auction at Phillips in Hong Kong in June 2021. It achieved a price of HKD 1,764,000.00 (€ 191,616.14), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 47%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kudzanai-Violet Hwami - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Skye Wanehanda (I), which sold at auction in April 2021 for HKD 3,780,000.00 (€ 404,708.23).
