$37 million is paid for still life
From Bloomberg News
A Cezanne still life sold for $37 million and a Modigliani portrait of a boy fetched $31.1 million at Sotheby’s Impressionist and modern art sale in New York on Tuesday night.
The Cezanne was his 1895 “Fruit and Ginger Jar,” a moody table-top, rendered in slashes of blues and orange. It was sold by New York dealer William Acquavella, who had bought it for $18.2 million in 2000.
Modigliani’s “The Concierge’s Son,” a 1918 portrait of a boy, was purchased by Zurich dealer Doris Ammann.
