In Reply to: Guwang & Sukawati Markets posted by shazza on Thursday, 8. February 2007 at 18:07 Bali Time:
We bought several paintings (7 I think) from Sukawati in April to decorate our alfresco. 1.5x1.5m triptych of Buddha, 3 small buddha faces, and a set of three modern balinese stylised. Around 500 000rp for all of the buddas and perhaps the same for the set of three others.
Unfortunately, on our visit in January, the store was closed but we found a man at the far top back corner of the markets, whose paintings were not initially to our taste. After a fairly long exchange explaining what we were after, he produced his new stock from a little hidey hole, which included much better quality and much more what we were after. We bought three large paintings, all about 1.2x1.2m for under $100 AUD.
