Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2021 Bonhams in London held the auction Modern & Contemporary African Art Online, which included the work (YEYE OSHUN) Oshun Calabash Carrier by Twins Seven-Seven. The price achieved of GBP 1,020.00 (€ 1,216.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Admittedly, works by Twins Seven-Seven have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Ram Masquerade in March last year with an auction result of GBP 5,670.00 (€ 6,722.42).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2021 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern & Contemporary African Art Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit (YEYE OSHUN) Oshun Calabash Carrier von Twins Seven-Seven zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.020,00 (€ 1.216,65) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Twins Seven-Seven auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Ram Masquerade im März letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.670,00 (€ 6.722,42).
