Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 'Figure With Poppies After Rbn 2604' by Paul Mpagi Sepuya was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2020. The price achieved of USD 6,048.00 (€ 5,192.75) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Paul Mpagi Sepuya - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Self-Portrait Study with Two Figures (1506), which sold at auction in October 2021 for USD 13,860.00 (€ 11,997.92).
