Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
This work without title by Oluwole Omofemi was worth GBP 50,400.00 (€ 59,754.87) to a buyer in March last year. This price was achieved in the auction Modern & Contemporary African Art | and CCA Lagos Benefit Auction at Sothebys in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 15,000.00 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).
