This artwork by Wayan Suja achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2008. In the Southeast Asian Modern and Contemporary Art auction, the work From the west sold for HKD 37,500.00 (€ 3,087.24) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 20,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Wayan Suja; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Psst, Don'T Tell Anyone I'M Balinese Too sold at auction in October 2014 with the realized price of HKD 52,500.00 (€ 5,405.03).
