This artwork by Wahab Saheed achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in May last year. In the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Afternoon Session auction, the work Night After Valentine's Day sold for USD 35,280.00 (€ 32,876.71) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wahab Saheed - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Actual Queen, which sold at auction in November 2021 for USD 81,900.00 (€ 72,561.35).
