Impressionist and modern art brought Christie's 111,3 million dollars

[sur]

Tiutchev, what do you think the financial transactions of amounts over $ 100 million are the only games in the "king of the mountain?
 
Or actually buying? In what I believe is very weak.

 Many expected the return of Picasso at the top of the price peak and it was held.

 What other benefits are participants of such games, in addition to meeting their own vanity?
 I think that this kind of financial transactions rather expensive, but costs should at least pay off.
 
 If we assume that someone owns a large number of works of these authors and is interested in their high market value, why are all the same, so in principle, be it in the first place the world's TOP-s?

 Interesting to hear your opinion about these transactions.
