Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Planets In My Head Mathematics by Yinka Shonibare was sold in the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction at Sothebys in London in October 2020. The price achieved of GBP 75,600.00 (€ 83,947.35) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 70,000.00 – 90,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yinka Shonibare - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Red Lantern Kid, which sold at auction in December 2018 for USD 325,000.00 (€ 283,694.13).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Planets In My Head Mathematics von Yinka Shonibare wurde im Oktober 2020 in der Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 75.600,00 (€ 83.947,35) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 70.000,00 – 90.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Yinka Shonibare mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Red Lantern Kid beobachtet, die im Dezember 2018 für USD 325.000,00 (€ 283.694,13) versteigert wurde.
