Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Mustafa Red Bird Shirt (Faruk) by Amoako Boafo was auctioned at Sothebys in London in October 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 189,000.00 (€ 209,868.38). 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).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Mustafa Red Bird Shirt (Faruk) von Amoako Boafo im Oktober 2020 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 189.000,00 (€ 209.868,38) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Amoako Boafo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Hands Up im Dezember 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 26.650.000,00 (€ 3.018.669,38).
