As a masterpiece of the artist\u2019s late career, Christie\u2019s expected <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Le melon entam\u00e9<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to sell between \u20ac8 million and \u20ac12 million.

The painting immediately set several new records, including the most expensive Chardin painting sold that auction, the most expensive eighteenth-century artwork ever sold in France, and the most expensive Old Masters painting ever sold in France. These two main bidders <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">turned out to be<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the Kimbell Museum of Fort Worth, Texas (previously featured in a past article <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/2024\/09\/artemisia-acquisition-spurs-debate-in-texas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">about an alleged Artemisia Gentileschi painting<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">) and the 39 year old Italian real estate investor Nanni Bassani Antivari.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nanni is the son of Luca Bassani Antivari, the founder and owner of Wally Yachts, a successful yacht-building and maritime design company based in Monaco. Nanni, meanwhile, is involved in real estate in Switzerland and was rather unknown in the world of Old Masters collectors at the time of the June sale. But after nearly six months, he has yet to pay Christie\u2019s invoice, reassuring the auction house every time they followed up with him. Nanni even offered to put <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">up<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the money in escrow, placing it in a third-party account to be released to Christie\u2019s upon receiving the painting. However, this is a very unusual way to pay for something bought at auction. An auction house typically does not ship or release anything without being paid in full. Christie\u2019s recently announced that they are suing him in Paris for failure to pay. They are asking for the full price with premium, interest, and penalty fees. Had Nanni not put them through six months of trouble, Christie\u2019s could have sold the painting to another buyer, such as the Kimbell Museum. Reportedly, this is not the only debt he owes.
