The auction house estimated Warhol's painting at $200 million, so while $195 is a lot of money, the buyer didn't pay more than what the picture was worth.
$45,045,000 for Washington Crosses the Delaware is just a coincidence? Seriously? So the bidding was so fierce for this painting that it went $25 million over it's estimated worth but then the bidders started nickel-and-diming it? That's just stupid. Someone intentionally paid that amount for it.
All of that aside, I find it sad that piece of modern art garbage was estimated to be worth 10 times the value of such a classic and historic piece of art.
