Teletubby 114,776 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 A Moroccan landscape painted by Winston Churchill and owned by Angelina Jolie sold at auction for more than $11.5 million, smashing the previous record for a work by Britain’s World War II leader. “Tower of the Koutoubia Mosque” sold at Christie’s in London for 8,285,000 pounds ($11,590,715). The pre-sale estimate was 1.5 million pounds to 2.5 million pounds, and the previous record price for a Churchill painting was just under 1.8 million pounds. This is the only painting that Britain’s wartime prime minister completed during the 1939-45. The painting was sold by Roosevelt’s son after the president’s death in 1945, and had several owners before Jolie and partner Brad Pitt bought it in 2011. The painting was sold by the Jolie Family Collection. The buyer wasn’t immediately identified. source i'm just a baby and @Juanlittlem is my ❀*·ꕤ. ☁️eternal enemy🌩️。˚❀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
