Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
NEW YORK, March 29 (UPI) -- A Stradivarius violin worth $1 million or more is up for sale at Christie's auction house in New York.
Online bidding for the 1729 instrument has closed and the piece will be auctioned off Monday, Christie's said on its Web site. The auction house estimates the violin's value at $1 million to $1.5 million.
The violin is known as the "Solomon, Ex-Lambert" after its current owner Seymour Solomon, the founder of Vanguard Records who bought it at auction for $35,000 in 1972, and Murray Lambert, a British concert violinist who owned it from 1922 until her death.
The first recorded owner was the Berlin dealer August Riechers, who sold it to a student named "Miss Price." From her, the violin passed to the English collector Robert Bower and eventually on to Lambert.
