Sotheby’s April auction of Modern & Contemporary African Art saw a multitude of new records for artists from across the African continent, including the father of Congolese ‘Popular’ painting Chéri Samba, Moroccan master Hassan El Glaoui, and rising star Eddy Kamuanga Ilunga. There was also a fantastic result for Ghanaian artist El Anatsui, who will be representing the country for the first time at the Venice Biennale later this year.
