Million-dollar Picasso sold at charity raffle for 100 euros
A million-dollar drawing by Pablo Picasso was snapped up on Wednesday by a 25 year-old American art lover at a online charity raffle for a mere 100 euros ($140). Jeffrey Gonano said he had been looking for a picture to hang on his living room wall when he read a news article about "L'Homme au Gibus" ("Man with Opera Hat"), raffled by Sotheby's in Paris.
"I was looking for art and I thought I might as well," the project manager at a fire sprinkler firm told Reuters by telephone. (Reuters)
