Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Patrice Lumumba (from African Spirits series) by Samuel Fosso was sold in the A Place With No Name: Works from the Sina Jina Collection auction at Christies in London in October last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 12,600.00 (€ 14,678.86) could thus just exceed the lower estimate.
