A note from BCD (LHS, Auction 96, lot 1188) related to the third known Antinoos of Argos (the others being in the Gotha and Paris collections): “to find an Antinoos from Argos had always been one of my dreams, finally this one appeared in 1986 in the hands of a dealer who is not well known for his sensible prices. But how could I refuse such a unique opportunity? What remains to be seen is if it will sell for half my acquisition price or less”.
