Brad Pitt buys $1m painting
Posted on June 11, 2009 (Tammy)
Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt has spent nearly $1m on a painting.
The actor paid $956,000 for the Neo Rauch oil painting Etappe, at Art Basel, an international art show for modern and contemporary works in Basel, Switzerland.
The nine-foot wide 1998 painting shows a swirling view of a driver behind a red racecar, with workers nearby carrying hoses.
He initially walked away from the purchase, as New York dealer David Zwirner was overheard saying: “He’s on the fence.” But within minutes, Pitt returned with Los Angeles collectors Eli and Edythe Broad and bought the piece.
