Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Domestic Scenes 16: Woman in a bath with Companion + Light, 1980 by William Kentridge was auctioned at Bonhams in London in September this year. The price achieved of GBP 1,216.00 (€ 1,216.00) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Kentridge achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Procession in March 2013 with an auction result of USD 1,538,500.00 (€ 1,200,452.56).
