Sogal Art Auction, Victoria Island, Lagos, Top 7 Sales by artnigeria: 10:24am On Mar 23, 2016 |
The March Edition of the SOGAL ART AUCTION organized by signature gallery was indeed a note worthy event. We saw a good number of art collectors come together to show their support for art in Nigeria. This edition featured solely up and coming talents including Olumide Oresegun (Who was recently featured on CNN). Art collectors complained about the present Nigerian economy, sighting it as the reason why this edition wasn’t really graced with very competitive bids. Without further ado, we will just go ahead to itemize the top bids. We won’t be calling the names of the bidders, we will only tell their paddle numbers. No 1: Lot 7: N1,150,000 by paddle number 11 www.nairaland.com/attachments/3523662_img1284_jpeg4086f800f7c0cb994741e098a0fb23d9 Urban Hill by Simeon Onosutu raked in N1,150,000 as the highest grossing art work for the event. Lot 21: N800,000 by paddle number 41 www.nairaland.com/attachments/3523663_img1278_jpegcb28fcc3edf22fbb7bb1c6e050db45ba No Pain No Gain by Bolaji Aremu was hammered off at N800,000 to paddle number 41 Lot 32; N650,000 to paddle number 23 www.nairaland.com/attachments/3523664_img1288_jpeg5f65d38c6dbb9002a2110c11b5e2be08 At the River Bank by Femi Otoki was sold off at N650,000 to paddle number 23 Lot 80; N650,000 to paddle number 7 www.nairaland.com/attachments/3523665_img1286_jpegad93ea8338a297a7ce5e6e5090166cfe Northern Horsemen by Taiwo Fadare was hammered off at N650,000 to Paddle number 7 Lot 16; N550,000 to paddle number 41 www.nairaland.com/attachments/3523675_img1276_jpeg28aa53f0759658dc86ca2972d569e53f Face Shapes by Chibuike Uzoma was sold off at N550,000 to Paddle number 41 Lot 25; N500,000 to paddle number 41 www.nairaland.com/attachments/3523676_img1282_jpeg44f50a4f071026d64931b9a92fb897e9 Mr and Mrs by Babatunde Lawson was sold off to paddle number 41. Lot 22: N450,000 to paddle number 41 www.nairaland.com/attachments/3523677_img1280_jpegcff398cdbbc9187cccf80becb30136b9 Fabreus by Uthman Wahab was hammered off at N450,000 to paddle number 41 Overall it was an interesting experience and a very thought out occassion by the organizers. The next edition will hold sometimes in May. Observations: The holder of paddle number 41 really did bid competitively for most of the works. Olamide Oresegun’s work – Nigerian’s own upcoming artists featured on CNN only managed to bearishly be hammered off 250,000 as lot no: 73 to paddle number 7 – another competitive bidder. www.nairaland.com/attachments/3523678_img1290_jpeg348eb906538c0d93a17fe48aa63fde4a Spilled Kettle Water by Olamide Oresegun Source: https://artnigeria.com/2014/10/18/sogal-art-auction/ 5 Likes |

Very funny how informative stuffs like don't make front page. But then even with the CNN hype. How come Olamide Oresegun didn't rake in much. I guess art collectors know what they are looking for. Seun Lalasticlala please take note of this thread. 6 Likes 1 Share |

emmaee:One thing about artwork isn't just how beautiful the piece looks. Its about the information the art work passes! Most people that spend alot on artworks more often than not have a connection with the piece. They always can relate with it. I once had an experience with my boss during my days at BOI, he said that the piece reminds him of his childhood and helps motivate him to strive harder and do better. To him its not about the beauty rather its about the message it passes 4 Likes |

Beautiful. But i no go carry pass 20k price any of them. I dont see the big deal in art..some will just spill color all over a paper and call it art. And sell it at one ridiculous price. I better use the money flex. Its just my own view oh and so many other art not too liking Nigerians. Dont carry my matter on your head. 1 Like |

laksides: Most of the works had been submitted to signature gallery. I think a year ago. The next auction will be in May. He just might be lucky. A director in shell specifically asked me for Olamide Oresegun's contact. I believe the CNN feature is really doing him well. 2 Likes |
