This week we are pleased to bring you an exciting article on Aboudia and his influence on African art.
Bonhams is a privately owned international auction house established over 200 years ago. They hold over 400 specialist sales annually in 60 different categories across the globe.
Abdoulaye Diarrassouba, also known as Aboudia, has become one of the most prominent African contemporary artists in recent years.
Despite inauspicious beginnings and the violence and hardship he witnessed in his youth, Aboudia has conquered the international art world, with particularly remarkable success in the secondary market.
This article includes detail on Aboudi's early life, his rise to fame, style, primary materials and current items on the market.
Bonham’s auction Modern and Contemporary Art and Photography from Africa and the Diaspora took place on 27 July in New York, exhibiting a number of Aboudia’s most celebrated works.
