After Ion Iliescu's death, two rare paintings depicting the former president were auctioned. The first by Marian Condruz sold for €600 and the second by Dan Hatmanu for €1,000. Although the works are considered rare, the modest prices reflect the controversy surrounding Iliescu. Buyers were motivated by artistic, not political, appreciation, according to auction house representatives.
