How much is a Ben Enwonwu painting worth?
1 Answer
How much a Ben Enwonwu painting is worth depends on its size, condition, historical significance and other factors. In 2018, his portrait of Adetutu Ademiluyi sold for $1.49 million at auction. As one of the most influential African artists of the 20th century, Enwonwu received commissions to paint many prestigious Africans, including Ademiluyi, a Nigerian princess. Traditional African folk art heavily influenced Enwonwu's paintings and sculptures. If you own one of the artist's pieces, a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer can evaluate it and provide you with its estimated fair market value.
