The work Saving My Parents From Drowning In The Shimonoseki Straits by Maria Farrar was worth GBP 40,000.00 (€ 46,989.70) to a buyer in March 2021. This price was achieved in the auction First Open: Post-War & Contemporary Art Online at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Maria Farrar - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Wave, which sold at auction in October 2020 for GBP 87,500.00 (€ 97,161.29).
