Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Gerhana Matahari Di Hutan (Solar Eclipse In The Forest) by Widayat was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2016. The price achieved of HKD 537,500.00 (€ 60,557.43) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 480,000.00 – 680,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Widayat - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Terang Bulan Di Rimba (Bright Moon In The Jungle) , which sold at auction in October 2015 for HKD 1,250,000.00 (€ 146,033.33).
