Grime stars: paintings set new records for Domenico Ghirlandaio and Jan Davidsz de Heem despite being covered in dirt

Domenico Ghirlandaio s Salvator Mundi Courtesy of Christie s New auction records were set for the Florentine Renaissance painter Domenico Ghirlandaio and the Dutch Golden Age artist Jan de Heem tonight at Christie s Old Masters evening sale in London. Both were in filthy though not bad condition, but being fresh to the market they proved very attractive to bidders. Ghirlandaio s recently rediscovered Salvator Mundi blitzed the previous record for a work by the 15th-century painter ($154,250 for Madonna and Child with Adoring Angels at Sotheby s New York, 2001) selling for £1.8m (£2.2m with fees) six times the estimate of £300,000 to £500,000. The recently rediscovered work had been in the same family s collection since 1955. After inciting a bidding war, it sold tonight to Francois de Poortere s phone bidder in New York.
