Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Shades of Brown by Amoako Boafo was sold in the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale auction at Christies in New York in May last year. Here, the upper estimate of USD 600,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 630,000.00 (€ 587,084.15). Admittedly, works by Amoako Boafo have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Hands Up in December 2021 with an auction result of HKD 26,650,000.00 (€ 3,018,669.38).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Shades of Brown von Amoako Boafo wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale bei Christies in New York versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 600.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 630.000,00 (€ 587.084,15) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Amoako Boafo auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Hands Up im Dezember 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 26.650.000,00 (€ 3.018.669,38).
