Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Gaze I by Amoako Boafo was worth HKD 2,772,000.00 (€ 301,111.07) to a buyer in June 2021. This price was achieved in the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale in association with Phillips at POLY in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 800,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Amoako Boafo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Hands Up in December 2021 with an auction result of HKD 26,650,000.00 (€ 3,018,669.38).
