A top price for Antoine Claudet
In May 2003 Christies in London held the auction Photographs, which included the work Chess players by Antoine Claudet. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,780.00 (€ 6,659.74), 20% above the upper estimate. With this result, Chess players is even the most expensive work of art by Antoine Claudet that we have observed at auctions so far.
