A top price for Geraldine Javier

The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 200,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at HKD 1,460,000.00 (€ 151,677.58). This high result makes Ella amo' apasionadamente y fue correspondida (For she loved fiercely, and she is well-loved) the most expensive artwork by Geraldine Javier that we have observed at auctions so far.
