Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Saftari achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2008. In the Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Paintings auction, the work Machine sold for HKD 143,750.00 (€ 11,846.82) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 60,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Saftari; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Negeri Yang Rawan (Precarious Country) sold at auction in October 2008 with the realized price of HKD 187,500.00 (€ 19,072.31).
