Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Obelisk by Lynette Yiadom-Boakye was sold in the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2021. The price achieved of USD 528,200.00 (€ 433,163.85) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 400,000.00 – 600,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lynette Yiadom-Boakye - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Highpower, which sold at auction in October last year for GBP 1,482,000.00 (€ 1,726,513.59).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Obelisk von Lynette Yiadom-Boakye wurde im Mai 2021 in der Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 528.200,00 (€ 433.163,85) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 400.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Lynette Yiadom-Boakye mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Highpower beobachtet, die im Oktober letzten Jahres für GBP 1.482.000,00 (€ 1.726.513,59) versteigert wurde.
