Il lotto numero 22 ha realizzato nuovo record mondiale per l’artista: Ilya Repin, “A Parisian Café” stimato 3,000,000 – 5,000,000 £ è stato aggiudicato a £4,521,250. Si tratta del prezzo più alto mai realizzato per un dipinto russo venduto in una vendita di “arte russa” da una casa d’aste internazionale. Il dipinto, conservato da quasi un secolo in una collezione privata, è stato acquistato da un bidder anonimo al telefono.
Sarah Mansfield, Head of the Russian Art department: “Created in the turbulent centre of artistic innovation, that was Paris in the late 19th century, Ilya Repin’s epic painting “A Parisian Café” is a masterpiece of the period, revealing both the influence of Western art on the Russian artist and Repin’s status as a trailblazing pioneer. This attracted interest from around the world and Christie’s showcased with this picture its ability to research, estimate and sell masterpieces of such uniqueness. ”
