This artwork by Uzo Egonu achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in October 2020. In the Modern & Contemporary African Art auction, the work Mother And Child sold for GBP 16,380.00 (€ 18,188.59) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 9,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Uzo Egonu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nigerian Woman Reading, which sold at auction in April 2019 for GBP 43,750.00 (€ 50,893.89).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Uzo Egonu erzielte im Oktober 2020 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern & Contemporary African Art wurde die Arbeit Mother And Child für GBP 16.380,00 (€ 18.188,59) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 9.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Uzo Egonu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Nigerian Woman Reading beobachtet, die im April 2019 für GBP 43.750,00 (€ 50.893,89) versteigert wurde.
