Van Gogh and Cézanne art returns to auction
A public auction in New York is offering about 12 artworks by Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists, with a total estimated value of around half a billion dollars. These pieces had remained in a private collection in South America for decades. It is expected that Van Gogh and Cézanne's paintings will set new record prices at the auction on November 18. Van Gogh's "Blossoming Chestnut Tree" is estimated at $180 million, while Cézanne's "Arlequin" is valued at $120 million. The artworks belong to a collection formerly owned by the late Nelly Arieta de Blakie. The collection reflects a high level of artistic taste, reminiscent of a "miniature Orsay Museum." This serves as evidence of wealthy art collectors' tendency to safeguard their wealth by purchasing fine works during times of uncertainty.
