Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Reflections of Robben Island - Series II by Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was sold in the Prints & MultiplesPart I: (Lots 1-250) Part II: The Arthur N. Gilbert Collection of Important Prints by James Gillray (1756-1815)(Lots 251-363) auction at Bonhams in London in December 2020. It changed hands for a price of GBP 2,805.00 (€ 3,133.43) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Cell Door, Robben Island in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 112,575.00 (€ 100,973.18).
