Original Van Gogh works fetch over €12m
Collectively the three works sold for £8,471,750 (12.3m), thought a fitting tribute to one of the greatest cultural heroes of modern times, in the year that marks 150 years since his birth.
La maison de Vincent à Arles, a unique ‘lost’ pen and ink sketch of his house in Arles, with a letter to his brother Theo on the reverse, fetched £845,250 (1.2m) at the auction at Christie’s, London.
