Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Lean on Me by Oluwole Omofemi was worth USD 65,520.00 (€ 59,064.27) to a buyer in March last year. This price was achieved in the auction Post-War to Present at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 18,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Oluwole Omofemi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Invader, which sold at auction in March last year for USD 189,000.00 (€ 170,377.72).
