A top price for Luis Meléndez
In February 2012 Christies in London held the auction Living With Art - A Private European Collection, Evening Sale, which included the work Oranges, nuts, spices, boxes of sweetmeats, a jug and a cask on a table by Luis Meléndez. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 3,513,250.00 (€ 4,194,913.60), 17% above the upper estimate. With this result, Oranges, nuts, spices, boxes of sweetmeats, a jug and a cask on a table is even the most expensive work of art by Luis Meléndez that we have observed at auctions so far.
