Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Felix Martinez achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2014. In the Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Paintings auction, the work Conversation By The Window sold for HKD 1,240,000.00 (€ 115,328.05) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 600,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Felix Martinez; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot River Landscape sold at auction in April 2011 with the realized price of HKD 2,060,000.00 (€ 179,021.66).
