Monet’s Water Lilies Lead Sotheby’s $208 Million Auction – the demand for those trophy paintings is still running high. If you have the right material, the sale will do well. In this case they did and of the 46 works offered, only 4 failed to find buyers. The Monet below made £31.7M ($54M) on a £20-£30M estimate — just 4 years ago it failed to sell with an estimate of £30-40M.
