Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Fake Death Picture (The Death of Leonardo da Vinci in the Arms of François-Guillaume Ménageot) by Yinka Shonibare was sold in the Post-War to Present auction at Christies in New York in March 2020. The price achieved of USD 25,000.00 (€ 22,667.51) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yinka Shonibare achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Red Lantern Kid in December 2018 with an auction result of USD 325,000.00 (€ 283,694.13).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Fake Death Picture (The Death of Leonardo da Vinci in the Arms of François-Guillaume Ménageot) von Yinka Shonibare wurde im März 2020 in der Auktion Post-War to Present bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 22.667,51) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Yinka Shonibare erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Red Lantern Kid im Dezember 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 325.000,00 (€ 283.694,13).
