Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Makoto Saito achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in February 2009. In the Contemporary Art Day Sale auction, the work The Man sold for GBP 253,250.00 (€ 285,531.27) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 120,000.00.

(No. 20130301) sold at auction in October 2016 with the realized price of HKD 3,200,000.00 (€ 376,573.62).
