Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Benineseuntitled Triptych, Demoiselles De Porto-Novo Series, 2012 by Leonce Raphael Agbodjelou was sold in the Modern & Contemporary African Art auction at Sothebys in London in March 2018. The price achieved of GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,385.55) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Leonce Raphael Agbodjelou - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled triptych ('Demoiselles de Porto-Novo' series), 2012, which sold at auction in October 2018 for GBP 37,500.00 (€ 42,288.43).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Benineseuntitled Triptych, Demoiselles De Porto-Novo Series, 2012 von Leonce Raphael Agbodjelou wurde im März 2018 in der Auktion Modern & Contemporary African Art bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.000,00 (€ 11.385,55) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Leonce Raphael Agbodjelou mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled triptych ('Demoiselles de Porto-Novo' series), 2012 beobachtet, die im Oktober 2018 für GBP 37.500,00 (€ 42.288,43) versteigert wurde.
