Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2018 Christies in New York held the auction Selections from the Israel Museum, Jerusalem Sold to Benefit the Acquisitions Fund, which included the work Ricordo di una figura ancestrale by Mario Negri. It changed hands for a price of USD 6,875.00 (€ 6,071.71) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00.
