Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

The work Star Mad Astrologer by Uzo Egonu was worth GBP 21,420.00 (€ 23,785.08) to a buyer in October 2020. This price was achieved in the auction Modern & Contemporary African Art at Sothebys in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00 many times over. 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).

Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Modern & Contemporary African Art bei Sothebys in London erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. 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.
