I recently wrote a post on a Turner painting that went for close to $45 million at Sothesby's this past July. In 2006, another Turner was equally high-priced (well, only ten million less). The "Giudecca, la donna della salute and san giorgio" sold for $35.8 million at Christies, to a Casino owner no less. Who says that high and low art cannot mingle?
