In July this year Christies in Paris held the auction First Open: Post-War and Contemporary Art Online, which included the work Deadly Sin by Olamilekan Abatan. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 11,970.00 (€ 13,965.36), 71% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Olamilekan Abatan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Narcisse, 2022, which sold at auction in November last year for EUR 36,736.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 71 % übertroffen
Im Juli diesen Jahres führte Christies in Paris die Auktion First Open: Post-War and Contemporary Art Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Deadly Sin von Olamilekan Abatan zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 11.970,00 (€ 13.965,36) und damit 71% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Olamilekan Abatan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Narcisse, 2022 beobachtet, die im November letzten Jahres für EUR 36.736,00 versteigert wurde.
