The work In My Childhood... by Ian Abdulla was sold in the AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS auction at Christies in Melbourne in November 2004. Here, the upper estimate of AUD 9,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for AUD 9,560.00 (€ 5,568.44). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ian Abdulla - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Putting Sprinklers On Tomatoes At Night", which sold at auction in August 2001 for AUD 30,550.00 (€ 17,735.13).
