PICASSO! GAUGUIN! WAS BUYER OVERCHARGED?

YOU, YES YOU ARE THE JURY!!

“Joueur de flute et femme nue” (1970) by Pablo Picasso

A Russian Oligarch bought 2 Billion dollars of artworks including Klimt, Picasso, Gauguin, Rothko, da Vinci and more.  He is claiming in court he was overcharged! One of the art pieces he bought was just sold for over $400 million!

PAUL GAUGUIN: WHICH PAINTING?

If you thought it was the bottom one you would not be alone.  The top painting that sold on February 28, 2017 for $25 million dollars at Christie’s in London is not the typical bold style Gauguin is known for (Google “Gauguin images“).

The lower painting is by Antonio Diego Voci (1920-1985) from the private collection of Patti and Coop Cooprider.  Google has selected a few dozen of Diego Voci art works for display in their gallery of Diego Voci Images.  Google “Diego Voci” and click “Images”.
