Sotheby’s Valuations in Lagos | Nov 3 – 6

Sotheby's, the oldest and largest firm of fine art auctioneers in the world, is the premier venue for selling Modern & Contemporary African Art. Within our first year we have set new world record prices for 25 African artists and firmly established ourselves as the new market leader. Our inaugural auction was the most successful sale ever held in this category, with 54% of lots sold above the high estimate. Collectors from 29 countries across six continents participated in the sale, underscoring the breadth of global interest in this collecting category in today's market.

We are now inviting consignments for our upcoming auctions. Artists of interest include Ben Enwonwu, Yusuf Grillo, Uche Okeke, Demas Nwoko, Toyin Ojih Odutola and Njideka Akunyili Crosby, among many others.

Hannah O'Leary, Head of Modern African Art, will be visiting Lagos, Nigeria on 3-6 November. To arrange a complimentary and confidential auction appraisal, please contact:
