Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Ouattara Watts achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Amsterdam in June 2020. In the Post-War & Contemporary Art: Amsterdam auction, the work The Dogon Komo (The Universal Knowledge) sold for EUR 40,000.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ouattara Watts achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Afro Beat in May last year with an auction result of USD 781,200.00 (€ 727,984.34).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Ouattara Watts erzielte im Juni 2020 bei Christies in Amsterdam einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art: Amsterdam wurde die Arbeit The Dogon Komo (The Universal Knowledge) für EUR 40.000,00 versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von EUR 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ouattara Watts erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Afro Beat im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 781.200,00 (€ 727.984,34).
