Winston Churchill Painting Sold by Angelina Jolie has LA Ties
A painting with a complicated history, Louisiana ties, and a fascinating past is now one of the most expensive paintings ever sold at auction. Oh, and did we mention that it was painted by former British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, and sold yesterday by actress Angelina Joile?
The auction was held at Christie's in London, and the painting, called "Tower of Koutoubia Mosque," was one of the few painted by Churchill during the years 1939-1945. According to CNN, via WBRZ in Baton Rouge, the painting sold yesterday for a record-breaking $11.5 million after fees.
