THINKING ABOUT SPENDING 15 MILLION DOLLARS WAS A NO – BRAINER FOR ONE ART COLLECTOR!

Spending 15 million dollars is a problem few of us will have but for one unidentified buyer, the answer was as easy as going going gone. An early casting of Auguste Rodin’s “The Thinker, has sold for $15.285 million at Sotheby’s New York, and did not take too much time to think about at all. The sale set a new record for the sculpture beating out the $12 million for a cast that was sold in 2010.

The sale at Sotheby’s was part of a major auction of impressionist and modern art that generated over $230 million in sales. So if your thinking about what you would do if you win the Power Ball at least one option is off the table. “The Thinker” is already spoken for.
