Collection of Seth Dei, Accra; | Bonhams, London, 4 October 2018, lot 26; | A private collection (acquired from the above sale).

Upper estimate price exceeded by 43 %.

The work Migration by El Anatsui was sold in the Modern & Contemporary African Art auction at Bonhams in London in March last year. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 21,500.00 (€ 25,490.67), 43% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by El Anatsui achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Prophet in May this year with an auction result of USD 2,228,000.00 (€ 2,091,233.34).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 43 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Migration von El Anatsui wurde im März letzten Jahres in der Auktion Modern & Contemporary African Art bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 21.500,00 (€ 25.490,67) und damit 43% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von El Anatsui erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Prophet im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.228.000,00 (€ 2.091.233,34).
