In January 2013 Christies in New York held the auction Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolors Including an Important Canadian Collection and a Distinguished Private Collection, which included the work Saints Benedict And Romuald by Giorgio Vasari. The »bidding war« ended at USD 134,500.00 (€ 99,013.55), 68% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Giorgio Vasari have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Pietà in January 2000 with an auction result of USD 574,500.00 (€ 588,808.04).

Im Januar 2013 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolors Including an Important Canadian Collection and a Distinguished Private Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Saints Benedict And Romuald von Giorgio Vasari zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 134.500,00 (€ 99.013,55) und damit 68% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Giorgio Vasari auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Pietà im Januar 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 574.500,00 (€ 588.808,04).
