In July 2019 Christies in London held the auction British & European Art: European Art, which included the work Sur le boulevard Berthier, Paris by Luigi Loir. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 27,500.00 (€ 30,193.17), 38% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Luigi Loir have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work French les Quais De La Seine, 1900 in June 2017 with an auction result of GBP 224,750.00 (€ 255,948.32).
