Cannot wait to see it at Christmas3

Got blown out at $1,175. Missus said we need to keep some money back for Christmas. Shame as it would have looked good in my study.1

The guy who sold it for 60 dollars must be pleased.5

In 1958 it was bought for £45. No kidding. Heck, it was bought for just $10,000 in 2005!Addickted said:Got blown out at $1,175. Missus said we need to keep some money back for Christmas. Shame as it would have looked good in my study.

Looks like Two Sheds is diversifying his investment portfolio.3

Bad news that our potential owner spent his 400m on this painting but can't blame him after being messed around by Meire.

Christies will get around 25% from the new owner and around 10%-15% from the vendor. Not a bad days work.0

You know someone has some serious money if they can spend 450m on a painting where it’s disputed whether if it’s even a genuine piece.0

Anonymous buyer?
Maybe an investment company effectively selling it to themselves to create a fake market and push up prices of other paintings.
Or is the world art market better regulated than that?0 -

Either that or it was Daisy doing the bidding for Duchatalet and just got it wrong.4 -

Art is expensive isn't it?
A mate got drunk on free champagne at a gallery and bought a picture. (That's why the champagne is free, Chris, if you're looking in!). It's supposed to be a Paris street scene with, yep you've guessed, a bistro to the fore. Chris' wife was not impressed when I said I thought it looked like the Cafe Rouge in Chelmsford High Street.
Anyway, it turned out to be too big to fit on any of the walls in their regular 3-bed semi. So they had to have an extension built just to accommodate the art. By way of additional punishment for making an unauthorised purchase, Chris is now having to shell out on a full fat kitchen refurb as well.0 -

This is where i'm at Sillav, if someone has close to half a billion to spend on a picture then the spread of wealth is obscene.sillav nitram said:That’s obscene and offensive, tells you exactly what’s wrong with our society!
