A top price for Tiziano Vecellio - as previously expected
The work A Sacra Conversazione: The Madonna And Child With Saints Luke And Catherine Of Alexandria by Tiziano Vecellio was sold in the Important Old Master Paintings & Sculpture auction at Sothebys in New York in January 2011. The price achieved of USD 16,882,500.00 (€ 12,309,515.13) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 15,000,000.00 – 20,000,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Sacra Conversazione: The Madonna And Child With Saints Luke And Catherine Of Alexandria is the most expensive artwork by Tiziano Vecellio that we have observed at auctions so far.
