The work Strange Head From Jakarta by Eko Nugroho was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2013. It achieved a price of HKD 212,500.00 (€ 21,073.30), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 52%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Eko Nugroho - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Seneng Kuwi Larang Regane (Happiness is Expensive to Buy), which sold at auction in November 2021 for HKD 693,000.00 (€ 77,054.58).
