A top price for Roberto Fontana - as previously expected
The work Souvenirs from the East by Roberto Fontana was sold in the Fine Nineteenth Century European Art auction at Christies in New York in April 2001. The price achieved of USD 8,225.00 (€ 9,268.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 7,000.00 – 9,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Souvenirs from the East is the most expensive artwork by Roberto Fontana that we have observed at auctions so far.
