A top price for Arthur Melville

In December 2007 Christies in London held the auction Turin London Corfu The Collection of Giorgio Marsan and Umberta Nasi, which included the work After The Play by Arthur Melville. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 174,500.00 (€ 237,115.90), 75% above the upper estimate. This high result makes After The Play the most expensive artwork by Arthur Melville that we have observed at auctions so far.
