Record Price

 

Italian Job I, painted by Tony Smith and printed in 1994 has just been sold by The Paint Box Gallery in Worcester for the staggering sum of £3000.

 

This is possibly the highest price for a photo-litho print by a living artist. The print would first have sold for around £175.

Italian Job are series of prints that feature the famous red mini immortalised by Michael Caine in the classic 1969 film. As a result of the movie's cult status and recent re-make, demand for the prints has escalated.
