A top price for Rodolphe Bel - as previously expected
The work Unknown by Rodolphe Bel was sold in the Centuries of Style: Silver, European Ceramics, Glass, Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes auction at Christies in London in June 2011. The price achieved of GBP 6,250.00 (€ 6,914.46) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Unknown is the most expensive artwork by Rodolphe Bel that we have observed at auctions so far.
