A top price for Bongani Peter Shange

When the work Mayibuye Head C by Bongani Peter Shange was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than ten times as high at GBP 16,250.00 (€ 19,173.40). This high result makes Mayibuye Head C the most expensive artwork by Bongani Peter Shange that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Bongani Peter Shange

Als die Arbeit Mayibuye Head C von Bongani Peter Shange im November 2016 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 16.250,00 (€ 19.173,40) mehr als zehnmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Mayibuye Head C zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Bongani Peter Shange, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
