Peter Uka Painting Doubles High Estimate at Auction Debut

Peter Uka Painting Doubles High Estimate at Auction Debut

Peter Uka, Invisible Guardian (2017). 160 x 200.2 cm. Courtesy Christie's.

This painting by Peter Uka fetched more than twice its estimate at Christie's Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale on 2 March.

⁠⁠The classically trained Cologne-based Nigerian artist paints realistic figures set within the memories he has of his life in the African country before moving to Germany to study at Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf. ⁠⁠

Having recently had a debut solo exhibition with the Chicago-based gallery Mariane Ibrahim Gallery and with an upcoming solo exhibition at FLAG Art Foundation, the artist will no doubt continue to receive market attention in the years to come.
