Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2021 Bonhams in London held the auction Modern & Contemporary African Art, which included the work A Cape Aloe in flower by Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. The price achieved of GBP 22,750.00 (€ 26,725.39) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Cell Door, Robben Island, which sold at auction in May 2019 for USD 112,575.00 (€ 100,973.18).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2021 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern & Contemporary African Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Cape Aloe in flower von Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 22.750,00 (€ 26.725,39) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Cell Door, Robben Island beobachtet, die im Mai 2019 für USD 112.575,00 (€ 100.973,18) versteigert wurde.
