In October 2019 Christies in London held the auction Thinking Italian Evening Auction, which included the work In tolda by Salvatore Scarpitta. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 911,250.00 (€ 1,056,984.65), 30% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Salvatore Scarpitta - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Housing Developed, which sold at auction in October 2019 for GBP 2,535,000.00 (€ 2,940,418.20).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 30 % übertroffen
