6:46Now PlayingWorks of art from different African arts are up for auction at the signature gallery in Lagos and it was not your everyday kind of auction.
An unusual sort of auction, no sign of an auctioneer or the anxious crowd hoping to outwit each other when a preferred work of art is raised. Just people having a look around and eyeing their best picks at the Sogal auction at the Signature Gallery in Lagos.
These pieces have been carefully picked and it features some of the best African modern and contemporary artists and it’s not the first time this auction is taking place
Each work of art has a story one that needs to be told and the artists do the honours while the curators have displayed sculpture that capture icons and traditions to paintings that touch on ancient and modern themes
The paintings have a rush of colour depicting the continent as a people who are vibrant and full of life.
The secondary market in Nigeria is opening up, there might have been a little hitch but with government officials insisting that the country is getting out of recession, the numbers will probably be looking better for the auction houses in the country.
You can see the rich display of those pieces, especially the sculptural pieces.
