New York City, US, May 12 (EFE).- A water lily painting by Claude Monet was the star of the night at a Sotheby’s auction held Wednesday in New York City, where it fetched $70.3 million, substantially exceeding the expectations of experts.
“Le Bassin Aux Nymphéas,” painted between 1917 and 1919 by the French master, is considered one of the most exceptional paintings by Monet to hit the market in recent history, and had been given a value of about $40 million, a figure that was surpassed in the third bid.
