42.5 x 33cm (16 3/4 x 13in).

Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Tsham Mateng could be acquired at Bonhams in London in October 2019 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Modern & Contemporary African Art Online Sale auction, the work Ancestral masks changed hands for GBP 1,275.00 (€ 1,478.91) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Admittedly, works by Tsham Mateng have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Congolese L'Unicitation in April 2019 with an auction result of GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,632.89).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Tsham Mateng konnte im Oktober 2019 bei Bonhams in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Modern & Contemporary African Art Online Sale wechselte die Arbeit Ancestral masks für GBP 1.275,00 (€ 1.478,91) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Tsham Mateng auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Congolese L'Unicitation im April 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 10.000,00 (€ 11.632,89).
