A top price for Gaspar Butler - as previously expected
The work View of Naples with the Riviera di Chiaia from the strada di Posillipo, with Vesuvius beyond by Gaspar Butler was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2011. The price achieved of GBP 229,250.00 (€ 263,098.67) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, View of Naples with the Riviera di Chiaia from the strada di Posillipo, with Vesuvius beyond is the most expensive artwork by Gaspar Butler that we have observed at auctions so far.
