Settlement Reached in Christie's Titian Case


A settlement has been reached between the seller of a 'lost' Titian artwork and Christie's auction house. The oil of Salome with the Head of St John the Baptist, was sold as 'School of Titian' in 1994 for £8,000. Subsequently, the work was attributed to Titian and valued at between $4 and $6 million. The original owners were suing Christie's for negligence but a settlement was reached out of court. Read Telegraph article here.
