Stradivarius hits $15.3 million in online auction
NewsThe 1714 ‘da Vinci’ Stradivarius violin, once owned by the virtuoso Toscha Seidel, was sold last night by the Tarisio auction house for $15.34m. Seidel is reported to have played it on the soundtrack of The Wizard of Oz.
This is the second highest auction sale of a Strad. The record is held by the ‘Lady Blunt’ Stradivarius violin, which Tarisio sold in 2011 for $15.9m.
This may indicate a slight cooling of Strad prices.
