A top price for Maso Finiguerra - as previously expected
The work A nude subduing another figure (recto); The head of a man wearing an elaborate helmet (verso) by Maso Finiguerra was sold in the MASTER DRAWINGS FROM THE MARTIN BODMER FOUNDATION auction at Christies in New York in January 2002. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 105,000.00 (€ 122,178.26) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A nude subduing another figure (recto); The head of a man wearing an elaborate helmet (verso) is the most expensive artwork by Maso Finiguerra that we have observed at auctions so far.
