Dorotheum Old Master sale

April 26 2017

Picture: Dorotheum

We're always being told the 'middle market' for Old Masters is suffering, but it's always worth keeping an eye on Dorotheum's auctions to see how prices in Europe are holding up. Their Old Master sale today posted consistently strong prices (browse here) for works from all periods. It doubtless helps that they always present their sales so well, with handsome printed catalogues, with explanatory text, high-resolution photos on the website, and (in Vienna) one of the world's best auction rooms.

One of the top lots was a pair of 'Antwerp School' portraits (the gent, above) which made €466k (inc. premium).
