Auction Highlights

CHRISTIE’S had two musical instrument auctions this spring. Their March 21 sale in London included a modern Italian Annibale Fagnola violin that sold for £49,350 ($70,605) and a 1728 Nicola Gagliano Neapolitan violin that fetched £97,250 ($139,136). At the final gavel of Christie’s East May 4 sale in New York several world auction records had been set, including $292,000 for a "fine and important" Nicolo Amati (left, top) and $226,000 for a "fine" Cremona violin by Francesco Ruggeri.

Notable sales in the SKINNER May 6 auction included a Giusseppe Rocca cello (left, bottom) that garnered $206,000 and several violins that sold for considerably more than their modest appraisals. Bidding for instruments by American builder E.N. Cattin, Irish luthier Hugh Gordon, and Dutch maker Karl Van Der Meer exceeded the estimated gavel prices by three times or more.

BONHAMS & BROOKS’ May 8 sale was primarily inexpensive student violins. One lot, a "fine" Italian violin by Vincenzo Jorio, Naples, 1840, garnered £22,000 (36,222).
