In May 1995, Andrew Lloyd Webber, creator of a string of international hit musicals and a very wealthy man, spent U. S.＄ 29.2 million on Picasso’s "Portrait of Angel Fernanders de Soto’. It was the highest price paid at auction for a painting since the art market crashed in 1990.
Lloyd Webber has a theory that Picasso’s Blue Period paintings were influenced by Burne-Jones, the British Pre-Raphaelite master whose international reputation stood high at the turn of the century. The theory is not shared by many art historians, but that doesn’t matter to the composer. He had been looking for a Blue Period Picasso for some time.
It is now extremely hard to come by Blue Period Picassos—figurative works that are drenched in melancholy, expressed by a dominant use of blue. Blue Period subjects par excellence are mothers and children or harlequins; Lloyd Webber’s purchase is not the most attractive of them.
A. The American buyers of pictures have not changed their taste.
B. The middle market remains strong.
C. The Americans, buy art as a speculation.
D. It is experiencing a major recession.
