In Serbia, works of art are mostly traded privately, so the prices of paintings by our artists are often "a secret." What is known is that the money value of the works of Konjovic, Sumanovic, Lubarda, Fula, Cuca Sokic, Velicković, and Damjan is growing year by year, so it turns out that buying works of art is very much a good investment.

The second most expensive piece is Village by Sava Sumanovic - $75,000. The ten most expensive paintings by Serbian authors have been auctioned around the world for about half a million dollars total.

In addition to this painting, Uros Predic's Queen Natalija was bought in 2007, also in London, for 32,000 euros, but is worth much more today.
