Charles Ray,
As Neeson said in the 2018 film
The Price of Everything, they bought it in 1991 for $945,000 at ‘a time when the market was not very strong, and everybody was saying you’re crazy paying that much. But Stef and I felt that no matter what the value, it was going to belong to us, and that was the most important thing. So we snapped it up.’
Does she miss it? ‘We kept a percentage for ourselves, so that we can have it back whenever it’s not on show or out on loan. So I can enjoy it here when it’s not travelling. But I’m happy that the museum has it whenever they need it for whatever they want to do with it. It’s for them.’
