尼日利亚的“《蒙娜丽莎》”重见天日,回归祖国首次展出
路透社 拉各斯——尼日利亚的“《蒙娜丽莎》”——这幅失踪了40多年的画作在伦敦的一套公寓里被发现。该画作自失踪以来首次在尼日利亚展出。
《图图》出自尼日利亚最著名的现代艺术家本·恩沃之手,绘于1974年,次年在拉各斯的一个艺术展上展出,但其后不知所踪,直到它重新出现在伦敦北部。
画作的主人(希望保持匿名)找到了伦敦邦瀚斯拍卖行的贾尔斯·佩皮亚特,请他帮忙鉴别他们的画作,佩皮亚特是现当代非洲艺术的专家,他认出了恩沃的肖像画作
“这是一次非常常规的估价访问,我应约前去鉴别本·恩沃的一幅作品,然后就发现了这幅画。”邦瀚斯拍卖行当代非洲艺术总监贾尔斯·佩皮亚特说道。“我事前并不知道自己会看到什么。到达现场后,我才发现,竟是这幅令人惊叹的画作。我们之前完全没有想到《图图》会在那里。它怎么会出现在那里仍是一个谜团。”佩皮亚特称。
“拥有这幅画的那家人知道,他们的父亲在尼日利亚有公司股份,而这幅画归他们父亲所有。在70年代中后期,他们的父亲在外游历并收获了这幅画。”
这户人家将这幅画作拿去公开出售,该画作于2月份以120万英镑的价格拍卖给一位匿名买家。此次拍卖创造了尼日利亚现代艺术作品的最高交易记录。
拉各斯艺术Ⅹ博览会组织者在一份声明中表示,博览会于周五至周日举办,此次展览通过Aces银行借得了画作《图图》。佩皮亚特指出,Aces银行并非画作的拥有者,他们只是负责安排画作的借用。
该艺术博览会的创始人说:“失而复得的经历让《图图》被誉为非洲版的‘《蒙娜丽莎》',它是第一件售价超过百万英镑的现代尼日利亚艺术家的作品。”
