Yoruba artist Romuald Hazoumè’s sculpture Chouchou (2013), typical of the artist’s work transforming garbage into ceremonial African masks, scooped $69,000 at auction on the platform, setting a new world record for the artist.
Sharing the work on his Instagram, Gouzer posted:“ there are also phenomenal artists that don’t sell for millions. Romuald is one of my favorite African artists and for me the Calder of the African continent.”
