A top price for Christoph Murer
When the work An Allegory Of Innocence Besieged By Blind Judgement, Avarice, Envy And Persecution, While Justice Looks On by Christoph Murer was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 9,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 43,750.00 (€ 39,439.29). This high result makes An Allegory Of Innocence Besieged By Blind Judgement, Avarice, Envy And Persecution, While Justice Looks On the most expensive artwork by Christoph Murer that we have observed at auctions so far.
