Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Piccola allegoria monumentale by Mario Negri was worth USD 20,000.00 (€ 17,663.16) to a buyer in November 2018. This price was achieved in the auction Selections from the Israel Museum, Jerusalem Sold to Benefit the Acquisitions Fund at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 5,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mario Negri - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Tutta una vita insieme, which sold at auction in June 2018 for EUR 42,000.00.
