Marini Record at Christie's

October 15, 2010 by Marion Maneker

Bloomberg’s Scott Reyburn gives some details on the record price paid for a Marino Marini sculpture last night at Chrstie’s in London:

“It was a great cast and had never been on the market before,” the Brussels and Paris-based dealer Paolo Vedovi said of the Marini. “There’s demand for great sculpture, as was shown by the Giacometti at Sotheby’s in February.” […] The four-foot (1.2 meter) Marini, “Cavaliere,” one of an edition of five cast before 1955, was sold by the Swedish trade union, the Unionen, which had owned it for more than 50 years. It fell to an unidentified telephone buyer.
