In Thursday’s Paris evening sale, the van Gogh was offered twice. When it was initially provided, Lisa Reuben believed she had gained the picture, which was estimated at €5 million–€eight million, but was outgunned by an internet bidder, whose successful bid was received as the auctioneer let the hammer down. This brought the ultimate price to €14 million ($sixteen.5 million). The London-primarily based Reuben household has been revealed as the customer of a $15.4 million Vincent van Gogh panorama bought throughout Sotheby’s Impressionist and trendy art sale in Paris on Thursday. Scène de rue à Montmartre (Impasse des deux frères et le Moulin à Poivre), from 1887, made its public sale debut there after greater than a century in private arms. A representative for the Reubens confirmed that the family had purchased the work.
