This is reported on the website of the auction house Christie's.

It is noted that the picture depicts the view from the window of the hospital in France, where Van Gogh was in the last years of life. Previously, the estimated cost of the canvas was more than $ 50 million.

Picture Plowed field and plowman nearly beat the record of value for the works of Van Gogh. In 1990, his canvas "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" was sold for 82.5 million dollars.

The total auction for the collection, owned by American billionaire Perry Bass and his wife Nancy Lee, who died a few years ago, included more than 60 works. As a result of the auction, $ 479 million was raised.

As previously reported in "URA-Inform", at Christie's auction in New York, the picture "The Savior of the World" by Leonardo da Vinci will be exhibited for the amount of about $ 100 million. The canvas is written in oil and represents a portrait of Jesus Christ. It is one of the last works of the Italian genius.
