POR 11,7 MILHÕES DE EUROS

Paul Gauguin, Nature morte à “L’Espérance”, 1901 (est. £7-10 million), via Christies.com
The headlining work at Christie’s Impressionist and Modern evening sale is a still life with sunflowers by Paul Gauguin. Executed in 1901, the work is one of four sunflower paintings created as a tribute to Gauguin’s friend and fellow artist Vincent van Gogh. The painting has a long, impressive exhibition history and according to the auction house has been unseen in public since 1989, though it failed to sell at Christie’s in 1996 against the same presale estimate it carries today.

Ainda bem que o rapaz deixou de pintar aquelas coisas.
Foi-se embora, foi pró Sul. Fez muito bem.
E por lá ficou...

"Fez muito bem."

Neste caso, concordo.
Foi um grande artista.
