In October 2013 Christies in New York held the auction The Collection of Arthur & Charlotte Vershbow Part Four, which included the work Fragments choisis dans les Peintures des Palaix et des Eglises de l'Italie - des Peintures antiques d'Herculaneum. Paris, 1770-1773. by Jean Claude Richard de Saint-Non. The »bidding war« ended at USD 13,750.00 (€ 10,114.76), 72% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jean Claude Richard de Saint-Non - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Voyage Pittoresque Ou Description Des Royaumes De Naples Et De Sicile. Parigi: Avec Approbation Et Privilege Du Roi, [Clousier, 1781-86|AID211730], which sold at auction in November 2010 for EUR 34,350.00.
