Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Ruins and the Piano by S. Sudjojono was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2017. The price achieved of HKD 9,060,000.00 (€ 1,034,530.08) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 8,000,000.00 – 12,000,000.00. Admittedly, works by S. Sudjojono have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Pasukan Kita Yang Dipimpin Pangeran Diponegoro (Our Soldiers Led Under Prince Diponegoro) in April 2014 with an auction result of HKD 58,360,000.00 (€ 5,427,858.69).
