A top price for Lucky Madlo Sibiya
When the work Ntombis Dance by Lucky Madlo Sibiya was auctioned at Sothebys in London in October 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 16,250.00 (€ 18,848.83). This high result makes Ntombis Dance the most expensive artwork by Lucky Madlo Sibiya that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Lucky Madlo Sibiya
Als die Arbeit Ntombis Dance von Lucky Madlo Sibiya im Oktober 2019 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 16.250,00 (€ 18.848,83) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Ntombis Dance zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Lucky Madlo Sibiya, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
