По умолчанию The African & Oceanic Collection

Sale heir galleries collection of African masks and statuettes. Price more than acceptable. The heir is interested in a quick sale. The collection consists of more than 900 copies. For questions, suggestions, please contact the personal mail. The collection is in the United States, Los Angeles.

The African and Oceanic (tribal) art within the collection is of good quality and there are number of the pieces that are museum or extraordinary quality. Extraordinary African works in today's auction market reach sales figures in excess of $ 5,000,000.
The greatest number of the works within the collection appears to have been made by the appropriate tribe and have the appropriate design attributes. A few of the works show at least a modicum of tribal usage, which in and of itself warrants a higher evaluation for those works. There are works that were either crafted by tribal artisans for tribal usage and were sold before they were used, or were crafted by tribal artisans for the purpose of satisfying the demands of European and American buyers of tribal artifacts. In either event, the quality of these works will still bring meaningful value to the collection.
The Songye Kfwebe collection numbers roughly 100 masks, some of which have the markings of tribal usage. This segment of the collection is likely to be worth $ 50,000 to $ 150,000 at the low end, and it could easily fetch in excess of $ 300,000. A number of the Kfwebe might fetch $ 2,000 or more, and a "tribal usage" Kfwebe, could bring a minimum of low to mid five figures in the auction market.
There are a goodly number of larger sculpted figures within the collection. These works do appear to be genuine. In the global market these works have significant value due to their size and craft. Well presented and properly marketed the larger works should garner sales prices over $ 25,000.
The Collection consists of the following:

1. Few authentic, ritualistic, well-used, and museum quality pieces that are somewhat rare and highly valuable, and can sell for millions of dollars. Although age is important, some post 1940 works are of greater value than similar pre-1940 works.

2. Mostly of works deemed to be bona fide tribal that manifest the appropriate craftsmanship, the appropriate structural attributes, which are likely to have been made by the appropriate tribe and that, were probably made for collectors.
 
3. With some authentic works that have tribal use and have some reasonable value. Can sell for a few thousand dollars to low to mid-range five figures.

4. Some works that are commercially crafted. Can be appraised from a few hundred to some thousand dollars

5. A few "tourist" works that can be estimated for a few hundred dollars per piece.

For better understanding and with specific reference to the purchase and sale of category (3.) And category (4.) Works it is reasonable to follow the marketing premise.

A knowledgeable buyer and marketer will cross-reference such works and with similar quality and museum quality works for evaluation and comparative sale. Whereas a museum quality Songye Kfwebe might sell for $ 50,000 or more, a quality category (3.) Or category (4.) Mask of similar fashion might still be able to fetch $ 5,000 to $ 10,000 if packaged and positioned properly within a gallery or internet offering . A lesser quality Songye Kfwebe will sell for $ 750 to $ 1,500.
For the sake of this informal appraisal, it is reasonably safe to assume that the low average price per piece sold of the category (3.) And category (4.) Works should be between $ 500 and $ 2,000. Some of the larger pieces could command $ 20,000 or more.
It is obvious, that over time the works remaining within the collection will become more and more valuable.
A fairly accurate count of the African and Oceanic works within the gallery is as follows:

Masks and Figures in wood: 819

Bronze: 17

Metal: 45

Ivory: 23

Terra Cotta: 21

Total Tribal Works: 925

The African & Oceanic Collection:
Low estimate - $ 270,000 *
High estimate - $ 900,000 + *

* For estimated purpose only. Buyer should perform its own appraisal.
