A top price for Aurelio Luini
When the work A hermit contemplating a crucifix, with studies of putti and a head in profile by Aurelio Luini was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2004, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 83,650.00 (€ 126,413.56). This high result makes A hermit contemplating a crucifix, with studies of putti and a head in profile the most expensive artwork by Aurelio Luini that we have observed at auctions so far.
