Turner’s Painting Sells for $13 Million, Why?
Joseph Mallord William Turner's "The Temple of Jupiter Panellenius," painted 1814-16.
The Temple of Jupiter Panellenius Restored made a very high price today at Sotheby’s Old Master Paintings sale.
Richard Feigen the art dealer got $11.5 million for himself (he had paid £648,000 in 1982) and Sotheby’s took the rest of the $12.9 million premium price. [from bloomberg]
I can't believe people still have this kind of money to buy just ONE painting.
Is it not too much for these days?
What about the living artists?
You rich art buyer can find tons of wonderful artworks for $13 Million. Just go online buy what you love and feel good about it.
