A top price for Francesco da Silva
When the work Anthropomorphic Beasts, four works by Francesco da Silva was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 4,000.00 (€ 4,809.55). This high result makes Anthropomorphic Beasts, four works the most expensive artwork by Francesco da Silva that we have observed at auctions so far.
