Last June 12th Christie's London he made for the auction Maritime Art a total of 1.684,000 for a catalog of 81 works present. The sector dedicated to maritime art has always attracted predominantly Anglo-Saxon collectors who prefer English or American authors from the XNUMXth to the XNUMXth century, but do not disdain even older works from the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries, such as some in the auction. Valuation of this kind maintains the value well, always circumscribed in a very specific territorial area of collecting.
