Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In June 2018 Christies in London held the auction Post-War to Present, which included the work Veiled Sorrow (The Look of Failure) by Njideka Akunyili Crosby. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 180,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 200,000.00 (€ 226,034.08). 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juni 2018 führte Christies in London die Auktion Post-War to Present durch, in der auch die Arbeit Veiled Sorrow (The Look of Failure) von Njideka Akunyili Crosby zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 180.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 200.000,00 (€ 226.034,08) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Njideka Akunyili Crosby erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Beautyful Ones im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.740.000,00 (€ 4.591.688,46).
