I'll never get these prices, I know at least %50 goes to money laundring, but still, I just can't. That being said, I'm all for spending millions to "preserve antiquity", but not for the privilege of owning a sketch, a quite lame one at that.

Art pieces, aside from their aesthetic and historical value, are essentially very high denomination bank notes. Particularly in this age of high inequality, low interest rates and asset price inflation. There are vast warehouses full of art sitting in customs free zones around the world, technically outside of any tax jurisdiction.

Well, that makes the most sense.

Kind of cool to own a piece of history though.
