A top price for Andrea Andreani - as previously expected
The work Allegory of Death by Andrea Andreani was sold in the Old Master Prints auction at Christies in New York in January 2019. It changed hands for a price of USD 9,375.00 (€ 8,184.91) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Allegory of Death is the most expensive artwork by Andrea Andreani that we have observed at auctions so far.
