This artwork by Samsul Arifin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2011. In the Modern & Contemporary Southeast Asian Paintings auction, the work Main Coret Begitu Saja (To Scribble Without Thinking) sold for HKD 620,000.00 (€ 57,256.76) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 250,000.00.
