A top price for Botong Francisco

The work The Mandala Builders by Botong Francisco was worth HKD 1,500,000.00 (€ 168,997.47) to a buyer in April 2016. This price was achieved in the auction Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art at Sothebys in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 180,000.00 many times over. This high result makes The Mandala Builders the most expensive artwork by Botong Francisco that we have observed at auctions so far.
