Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Se O Pássaro Nao Tivesse Dado O Seu Assobio Quase Humano... by Malangatana Ngwenya was sold in the Modern and Contemporary African Art Online auction at Sothebys in London in March 2020. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 8,750.00 (€ 9,880.54). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Malangatana Ngwenya - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Matalana, which sold at auction in October 2019 for GBP 27,500.00 (€ 31,898.03).
