Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portret by M. Irfan was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2014. The price achieved of HKD 187,500.00 (€ 19,303.67) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 160,000.00 – 250,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by M. Irfan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Jangan Pernah Lupakan Sejarah (Never Forget the History), which sold at auction in May 2012 for HKD 740,000.00 (€ 77,088.32).
