Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Young Woman In Profile, Uvbi Series by Erhabor Emokpae was auctioned at Sothebys in London in October 2019. The price achieved of GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,249.55) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Erhabor Emokpae - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The New Seekers, which sold at auction in October 2019 for GBP 22,500.00 (€ 26,098.39).
