Another Alma-Tadema Brings Huge Price at Sotheby's
5 May, 2011
| Another Masterpiece by Alma-Tadema Brings Huge Numbers at Sotheby’s May 5th sale! | |
 |
This is the second highest price ever paid for a 19th century Academic painting, coming only second to Alma-Tadema’s The Finding of Moses, which brought $35,922,500 just six months ago.
The painting Antony and Cleopatra sold for an astounding $26,000,000 hammer. With the premiums, the buyer will pay $29,202,500. |
|
This second painting sale seems to be setting a trend for higher prices for his work and it will be interesting in the months ahead to see if the whole period is about to take another leap forward. |
