Tell an investment banker that a
picture bought in 1950 for $30,000 sold this month for $104.1 million and you
will be unlucky if you fail to get his attention. That was the case with the
portrait of a young boy by Picasso when Sotheby’s dispersed on May 5 the tail
end of the famous collection formed by the late John Hay Whitney and his wife
Betsy Cushing Whitney. Sales added up to almost $190 million within two
hours. If you then go on to explain that Whitney bought the 1905
portrait not for investment but for art’s sake, because he loved 19th- and
20th-century painting, you might well be greeted with a stare of compassionate
irony. Yet that was exactly so. Had the heir to a vast fortune
consulted experts at the time, most would have advised against the acquisition.
Received wisdom in the 1950s A. that large charcoal sketch by Picasso is not appealing to the eyes B. that charcoal sketch is Picasso’s first Cubist work C. it had previously passed through the hands of one of the greatest 20th-century dealers D. paintings long out of the sight of the public tend to be forgotten
