Dieses Kunstwerk von Leonce Raphael Agbodjelou erzielte im Mai 2017 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern and Contemporary African Art wurde die Arbeit Untitled (Demoiselles De Port-Novo Series) für GBP 12.500,00 (€ 14.356,76) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00.
