The anonymous collector who brought the painting to be auctioned had purchased it in 1986 at Christie’s for just $2.5 million.

...

I bet it wasn’t considered such a small price at the time.

One of the highlights of the Chicago Institute of Art is the room where they have 6 or 8 of these haystack paintings, each painted with a different quality of light. They really are extraordinary.

I can’t see the value in having just one of them, though. The beauty comes in comparing one to another, and seeing the artist’s rendition of the different conditions on the different paintings.

If these paintings are worth that much, that is one expensive room in Chicago! Well worth the visit.

Gotta be a tax dodge. No way any painting is worth that. You can buy a copy at the local street corner for $20
