A top price for Tommaso Bigatti
In July 2010 Christies in London held the auction Living with Design: The Collections of Walter Lees and Mr NC., which included the work A design for a wall decoration in Ancient Roman style, with a central scene of Adonis discovering the sleeping Venus, flanked by panels with putti, griffins and winged horses by Tommaso Bigatti. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 8,750.00 (€ 10,520.89). With this result, A design for a wall decoration in Ancient Roman style, with a central scene of Adonis discovering the sleeping Venus, flanked by panels with putti, griffins and winged horses is even the most expensive work of art by Tommaso Bigatti that we have observed at auctions so far.
