Auction result misses estimated price range
In December last year a collector was able to acquire the work Festival Disguise by Kwesi Botchway for USD 8,820.00 (€ 8,244.53). This price was achieved in the auction First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 10,000.00 – 20,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kwesi Botchway achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Green Sofa in November 2021 with an auction result of USD 214,200.00 (€ 189,775.85).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Dezember letzten Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Festival Disguise von Kwesi Botchway für USD 8.820,00 (€ 8.244,53) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 10.000,00 – 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kwesi Botchway erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Green Sofa im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 214.200,00 (€ 189.775,85).
