This artwork by Baba Tree achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2020. In the Matters of Material auction, the work Jemima 10 Cows  sold for GBP 750.00 (€ 837.25) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 300.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Baba Tree - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work I) Lingkaii) Special Bowliii) Toh-Baiyee, which sold at auction in November 2020 for GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,674.51).
