A top price for Giuseppe Bonito - as previously expected

The work Elegant company playing cards in a palatial interior by Giuseppe Bonito was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2001. The price achieved of GBP 91,750.00 (€ 149,906.78) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Elegant company playing cards in a palatial interior is the most expensive artwork by Giuseppe Bonito that we have observed at auctions so far.
