The list of the top 10 most driven buyers of the year includes buyers who were willing to bid for amounts way above the initial Low Estimate or Estimate on Request set by the sellers and the auction houses for specific lots. The buyer of the “Salvatore Mundi” makes by far the top of the list while other driven buyers were more “moderate”. Interestingly all sales happened in New York but one that took place in London. |
