BERLIN (AP) — A self-portrait painted during World War II by German Expressionist artist Max Beckmann sold in Berlin on Thursday for 20 million euros ($20.7 million), a price that appears to be a record for an art auction in Germany.
The buyer of Beckmann’s ‘Self-Portrait Yellow-Pink’ at the Grisebach auction house in the German capital has not been identified. Bidding started at 13 million euros (about $13.7 million). Taking into account the additional costs, the buyer will have to pay 23.2 million euros (about 24.4 million dollars).
