Another Copy of the Mona Lisa Up For Sale
October 8 2021
Video: Artcurial
Posted by Adam Busiakiewicz:
Artcurial in Paris will be auctioning off a seventeenth century copy of the Mona Lisa on the 9th November 2021. The copy will carry an estimate of €150,000 - €200,000. The video they have produced above shows the expectation that this picture might achieve a similarly bonkers price compared to recent examples.

On reflection, have these copies of Leonardo's most recognisable work become the latest 'Kitsch object' for the current age? It seems likely.
