Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Yesterday has gone by Oluwole Omofemi was auctioned at Christies in New York in May last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 151,200.00 (€ 140,900.20). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Oluwole Omofemi; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Invader sold at auction in March last year with the realized price of USD 189,000.00 (€ 170,377.72).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Yesterday has gone von Oluwole Omofemi im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 50.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 151.200,00 (€ 140.900,20) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Oluwole Omofemi; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Invader im März letzten Jahres mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 189.000,00 (€ 170.377,72).
