Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Amazing Grace by Kwesi Botchway was auctioned at Sothebys in London in April last year. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 40,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 40,320.00 (€ 48,080.17). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kwesi Botchway - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Green Sofa, which sold at auction in November 2021 for USD 214,200.00 (€ 189,775.85).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Amazing Grace von Kwesi Botchway kam im April letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 40.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 40.320,00 (€ 48.080,17) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Kwesi Botchway mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Green Sofa beobachtet, die im November 2021 für USD 214.200,00 (€ 189.775,85) versteigert wurde.
