Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by El Anatsui could be acquired at Christies in London in October last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the A Place With No Name: Works from the Sina Jina Collection auction, the work OGA I changed hands for GBP 45,000.00 (€ 52,424.50) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. 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).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von El Anatsui konnte im Oktober letzten Jahres bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion A Place With No Name: Works from the Sina Jina Collection wechselte die Arbeit OGA I für GBP 45.000,00 (€ 52.424,50) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 60.000,00 – 80.000,00. 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).
