Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2021 Sothebys in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary African Art, which included the work SM17, 70s Lifestyle Series, 1975-78 by Samuel Fosso. It changed hands for a price of GBP 7,560.00 (€ 8,956.56) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Samuel Fosso - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work La femme américaine libérée des années 70, Tati Series, 1997, which sold at auction in March 2021 for GBP 22,680.00 (€ 26,643.16).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2021 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Modern and Contemporary African Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit SM17, 70s Lifestyle Series, 1975-78 von Samuel Fosso zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 7.560,00 (€ 8.956,56) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Samuel Fosso mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit La femme américaine libérée des années 70, Tati Series, 1997 beobachtet, die im März 2021 für GBP 22.680,00 (€ 26.643,16) versteigert wurde.
