Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
The work A Conflict Of Interest by Njideka Akunyili Crosby was worth USD 396,500.00 (€ 352,883.59) to a buyer in May 2017. This price was achieved in the auction Contemporary Art Day Auction at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 60,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Njideka Akunyili Crosby achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Beautyful Ones in November last year with an auction result of USD 4,740,000.00 (€ 4,591,688.46).
