People shelling out millions like it were cents. Feel poor yet? Yeah? Me too...😂😂
I have no penny and don't feel poor by this stupidity. Only the existence of that painting is my richness.
armand perrenet Oh My God! Who said that?
I am a Peasant. LoL
Hahahha omg so relatable
They dont care where the money came from as long as you pay cash and pay the fees , you'll have a clean asset to resell for a little less of what its worth , owners lose money by doing this , but thats the price of laundering money
People bidding on $50k cars in $2k increments: Shouting, screaming, air horns. People bidding on $100M paintings in $1M increments: Calm, understated, no air horns.
It means that the first one work harder. More likely the second group stole the money or assets from country
😂 👍
Money talks wealth whispers.
I'm so glad I bought this but now I'm broke
Buy one of mine a Gain it all Back.....
This will be bought, loaned to a museum. Written off as a charitable donation, and then used against their gains so they don’t pay as much, if any taxes. Common practice amongst wealthy folk.
Hope and Truth xD
No. And from your uncorrected grammar, YOU BS. Hahaha... Change your name as Liar and Hope...Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣
Woah your profile pic is almost like mine
Just remember that for a few thousand (or even a few hundred) dollars, you can buy very nice examples of work by living artists, including living impressionists. Not only do you get a great original for a sensible amount of money, but you also help someone still alive and creating to carry on doing their good work.
Yeah I really don't understand why would they spend so much money on these kinds of painting. If I were a billionaire I would much prefer spending it on modern paintings
@@hyacinth8513 Because it’s both a statement of status and a storage of value. These people have so much money that they need to find real assets with radically high values to store it + earn the kind of interest they expect
The person buying that painting probably does buy recent paintings. The Monet is more than a painting. It has historical value. Besides many other factors, it is a really fantastic work of art. Something priceless up for sale, very rare.
@@007SuperSoldier yeah or buy it to avoid taxes
What you said is true, but that’s a modest, acceptable and humanitarian way of collecting arts. However in the world of collectors where everyone not only thirsts for the highest and most excellent form of art where every copy is limited, money serve as the fluid to fill the quench for the love of art....at times we say it’s too expensive but practically it’s the highest form of decadence in art appreciation which in other words we call them “priceless”!
Reality is fascinating. some People have enough to spend $100M on a painting. While some struggle to get food for a day.
We live in a world of extreme contrast. Our taxes go to continually improve government buildings yet our own citizens starve. They will have to reckon themselves ....eventually
It has and always will be that way. Some people have more drive than others. Some are more intelligent than others, some are leaders and most are followers. That is the way of the world.
Then there’s me out here not even willing to buy a pack of gum for $2 😂
well i mean 2$ for gum is highway robbery
Trains but that's cheap af
Ill go 75 cents. Take it or leave it.
You know you’ve wasted more money than that u bum

This has nothing to do with art. It's an asset auction for billionaires.
C S I fear as much as I love Monet you are right.
Correct. And don't forget the reason for 5G is to help you down load your movies faster! Sincerely, Dr.Evil
What about that latest da Vinci that was recently sold for a kings ransom to an unidentified Saudi who disappeared the painting to perhaps never be seen again? Perhaps such international treasures should never be sold to private citizens.
Yes.
Salnellen 13 wow never knew that happened. Thats kinda fucked up
This is some next level unintentional ASMR
Lol underrated
I wonder who bought it that they can shell out that kind of money but STILL have enough cash left over to live exactly the same way they did before they bought the Monet.
dude there are so many billionaires in this world who make that kind of money in a week... yeah i know hard to imagine but its true ....
Tech billionaires sell some shares and buy a Monet.
@@stevenwaeyen9251 enlighten us wise one
literally thousands of people can
It is a cover-up! The devil is just transferring money via the auctions so that there is nothing suspicious!
This auctioneer is hypnotizing me
Why? He is a just a regular blinded prig, who doesn’t care about the real problems.
@@ItsNikoHIMself You speak as if you know him personally, yet you do not. He is indeed a person doing a job. One doesn't work for free. He gets paid for this.

Hello. A big royal blue sapphire???

Just think when "Monet" Painted this he would have sold it for a weeks wage! .. And the Average wage for a Skilled Tradesman in 1890 was $2-$6 a day!
Are you sure he sold it at this price? Monet was a highly reputable artisr even when he was alive. He was one of the most known in his time
He was selling in the thousands back then. I believe.
Pretty sure he didn't sell it for dollars... 👉🏼 🇫🇷 😂
Space Skipster You’re right, he didn’t sell his works for $$, he sold them for Gold rubles to Russian merchants Shchukin and Morozov..At least twenty of his paintings are now on exhibit in St. Petersburg and Moscow museums. His most renown work LA DANSE is displayed in the Hermitage.
Lmao what do these people think an artist is? 2 dollars for Monet haha
Man...I suffer from buyers remorse when I buy a pack of razors.
Fact that this was 4 years ago is crazy... Someone had 90 mil to throw at a painting... Inspiring stuff🔥🔥
Kept expecting the painting to slip out of it's frame and shred like the Banksy.
they need the hay for the cattle.
It's already a haystack... 👊🏼 😂
Bansky did not count for battery going flat over the years. This one had a century.
well maybe banksy bought this and shredded already.😂
My favorite artist by far, I can never get enough , thanks for this wonderfull peek , be blessed.
13.7 mil of fees 🤪😅
That's like 1300 for rich people
@@gizmonovack it’s still 13.7 million
Some countries are worth less than a painting💀
Jia let’s discuss over 🐕 style
The vibe when the auctioneer gets upset that you bid $91,000,000 instead of $92,000,000 🤦♀️
I love his works for a impressionist artist. One of the best ever. Its nice to see his works reach new record values.
Sir I have some an5 ancient gold coins I want to sell it...1894 un pesos Guatemala trade coin,1798 trade dollar..(3) British trade coin 1911
What's nice about it? Why it has to be about making obscene amounts of money?
Monet laundering!
Best comment ever lmao
Ha good omg so,good
+Bitch better have my Monet!"
How? All payment made through banks . Money laundering is turning cash into white money.
I’m stealing this lol
God, beautiful piece. It’s like light is radiating out from the painting itself. Congrats to the buyer!
It Takes 200 Years for a Joseph Charles Colin Painting to hit 100 Million.....Grats Monet & i hope somehow He knows his Painting was sold At this Price in Our Time.GJ Sothebys
@Ms Rana possible
Yes so it costs somthing when the creater is dead..... Kind of fucked if you ask me.
This is the value of what a great human spirit saw and created.
What color did you paint the inside of your brain? Sincerely, The Rainbow
I agree with you, don't listen to that idiot. Great art deserves great prices.
Amazing! Very enlightening and worthwhile video regarding the art market.
44x the estimate?, you're telling me that they thought it would go for around $2-$3 million?, sounds like someone's put the decimal point in the wrong place.

Thank you Sotheby's for all the information and the beautiful bits,bobbles, porcelain, jewelry, an many styles of Art and the province of the many unique products ✨️
Monet was a superstar while he was alive. Van Gogh was an outlier - most historically famous artists were famous in their lifetimes. That's what makes their works so valuable. It's not just some random painting from >100 years ago, it's a painting that has been famous for >100 years. Is it worth $100m? Who knows... but comparing it to a painting from your local indie artist is like comparing Michael Jordan's shoes to a pair of Nikes you get at your Nike outlet (his shoes sold for $1.5m btw).
Last time seen in public in this auction, now locked in the darkness of Geneva Freeport, never to see the light of day or public again, bought as merchandise to launder money. Just like all art by the great masters sold at auction in the last decades.
andrea cecilia grillo exactly. It’s kinda obvious now isn’t it. The curtain is being pulled back on all this shitz
... you cannot launder money like this. Any transaction over $10,000 gets reported to the IRS, obviously this auction was public and therefore absolutely recorded. As are all auction sales. So, if one has illegally attained riches and spends his/her money on extravagant things like yachts and paintings, the only way to do so is with legitimate money. SO this is where money laundering comes in. How does one make this dirty money look legally attained? THATS money laundering... cash only business, flipping low cost property, flipping watches and cars under 10k then receiving the money legitimately. This is money laundering. Pretty easy to do. Once it’s done, grab your checkbook and LEGALLY spend those long ago dirty dollar bills. And you seem very knowledgeable in the whereabouts of all these pieces. Are you well entwined in the art world? And if so shouldn’t you have known your comment was contradictory? Now obviously this is just a KZhead comment thread, but I think if you and I and everyone spent a little extra effort spreading knowledge, facts, and most importantly positivity, don’t you think everything would be better? It starts with the little stuff! Like getting your facts straight ;)
@@edkar7604 damn...
Interesting time to live in to realize the sale of art like Monet that fetched such incredible price
Absolutely fabulous! There will be always high values for masterpieces! Congratulations!
Me: scratching my nose Also me: now have a 100 million dollar painting next to my new home, a carton on the street
Even me if i have money i will buy it. Man that painting is so beautiful. It feels like I've seen it before, like I've been there. It's more like a deja vu i don't know why but it reminds me of something i wanna go and lived for.
You already know who is going to win this auction at the end, one is always hesitating and the other one bids straight away
Amazing painting. It's more real looking than a super realist painting.
Insane. Especially since there are so many fine living artists that can’t get anyone to buy their work.
Art is like fine wine, you value a 100yo one more than a freshly bottled one.
Fredrik S tell that to all of the fine struggling artists out there watching ridiculously wealthy people trade contemporary balloon animals for 80 million dollars.
@@fredriks5090 you can drink on wine, while that you can see that already, and don't need to look again cause it's in your brain already and get dumped within a day cause it's not fun to look that everyday. instead buy money to enjoy yourself.
King Kong I really wonder if that’s what’s going on because it sure looks like that. Perhaps artists themselves should start their own ethical auction houses that only sell the works of living artists. Then shame the ones that want to exploit artists into absolute misery.
most of which is likely terrible.
The guy who estimated didn't do a good job of it's sold 44x his prediction..
I hope the new owner shows it off for a couple years, then loans it out to a museum so the public can enjoy. I feel works of art like this belongs to the world to enjoy, not a single person.
If a museum got this it would sick it in the basement an put a copy on display .
7654980 I don’t think so. I’ve pretty much been to every museum in the States and Europe and I think this would be a highlighted art piece in any reputable museums collection.
When you coming to NYC lots of museums here
Well it should be yours and only your if you fork over a large sum.
Haha. No. It belongs to it's owner. What you are really saying is "I am going to guilt trip this rich person into sharing his property with me because...it's for the "common good".
The frame is beautiful as well.
The word "million" sounds so alien to me now
I really enjoy watching these and that's years later. The atmosphere in the room must be electric. Another one went for $400m - makes this one almost look cheap 😂
I don’t think any painting has ever sold for $400M? 🤔

Thank you 🙏
Imagine spending that kind of money and you can't even be bothered to turn up in person.
Wow. What I cant believe is that ANY Monets or any of the masters are being sold. The owners must need the money but I am still stunned to see one from Monet or any master for sell. Wish I could afford one!!!
Everyone who wants to study and be an artist is firmly told by mum and dad that there is no money in art.
It helps if the artist is dead…..
It's certainly a difficult profession for anybodys future financial success
at some point it starts feeling like a personal feud lol
You really have to see these sorts of paintings in the flesh to appreciate them.
Imagine what one of his water lilies paintings would have gone for then....
About 20 million less than Meules. The last one sold at auction was last year around 84 mil. There’s a total of 25 paintings in the meules series, and 8 of them are in private hands, I assume that’s why they’re so worth so much. Whereas the waterlillies are being sold left and right. One of his waterlillies was actually sold at this auction as well, sold for 20 mil I think? He also painted about 250 waterlillies in his lifetime. All with different price tags because it all depends on when he painted them in his lifetime
Close to half a billion. I love Monét
Another Artist, Blessed By The Gods: Claude Monet. Will never forget sitting inside Musée D'Orsay in Paris, giving Monet's Water Lilies mural a half-hour stare of wonderment. Life seen through Monet's eyes is simply astounding. (Yes, he's my favorite artist... duh!)
It’s only one God
Remembering a funny scene from one of the Mr. Bean movie where he recreating a painting.
I will never forget the first time I saw Monets paintings. I was young and stupid and I wasn’t prepared for what I experienced. My jaw dropped I was suddenly speechless just staring at each painting triggering this unstoppable inspiring but vulnerable and grateful feelings at the same time. And then I saw The Magpie. To this day I don’t understand why I cried. I just had to.
Please.
@@metaparcel I truly hope you find and experience this feeling in you someday.
Same here. I saw Monet’s The Corner of the Apartment, and it was mesmerising. I’ll never forget the experience of seeing it for the very first time.
@@minachan9562 Yes , that one is also breathtaking. For some reason the floor enchanted me. And the window. It’s how he creates light. You can literally feel the time of the day in it. I don’t know I just really adore Monet so much.
I hope the person who bought the painting truly loves it and does not just want it for the kudos.
The buyer is going to hold on to it until it worth more money then resell it
It will hide in a vault in Switzerland for eternity
I suppose the purchaser remains private.
This is fascinating to watch
it's weird how humans assign value to things
J Simo especially in a fake made up world. Nothing backs our $ anymore. It’s all fake
...And how they don’t care about money and real problems in the world.
Funny how you say that but i doubt you’ve donated a cent to a hunger charity
You are right. I love art but the human race took a wrong turning when it comes to what is considered valuable.
It’s vulgar n depraved actually
Now located in the Barberini Museum in Potsdam! 😊
I love how the ones with the money are never there.
Interesting how this amount is multiple times more valuable than the cumulative life savings of some people while it's literal chump change for others. I have a friend who occasionally buys dresses worth $2-4 million. Meanwhile, one of my housekeepers has a cousin overseas that makes the equivalent of $200 per quarter. The most expensive thing I ever bought was around $550,000, I can't even imagine spending even a million on something.
where do you meet these type of friends
Ilove.sotbeys.conducting..bussiness.in.a.most professional.manner
"72 I would happily accept" NO WAY!!!
Love the way people with so much buy these great works, I convince myself they also help charities and help feed the poor,I also live with the idea that when they depart this earth they leave these great works to the nations they live in, or am I just naive.
Waky , waky you are asleep.
The majority of museums are filled with art donated by the wealthy. The majority of museums themselves were built by the wealthy.
its beyond art love,its power show between rich people
I know but if I was a billionaire I would buy art because I love art
I tried to steal this painting but I got stuck up the drain pipe I’m still there can you help me call the fire brigade no police tho Thanks
r u serious?
In 8 minutes from 45m to 98m, that must be the best salary in existence.
You can help a bunch of artists continue living with that bid.
Wife after buying a piece of art: So what’s for dinner? Husband: The color palette Monet used here is so beautiful isn’t it?

I like this auctioneer!
The greatest landscape painter to ever live
He's not even better than Manet.
Do you know how many artists never see the light of day that are better. I dont, but it is a shit ton.
$110.7 million on title of video, though $97 million on end of auction? What gives? $97 million before tax ?
auctioneer commission gives!
The premiums, commissions, etc. they tack on at the end are a bitch - like 10-20%!!
It’s like buying a car. There’s always fees
shipping and handling. And "Other fees"

Exactly
It's going to be loaned to a museum for tax purposes.
Damn so how many of us are peasants
Do you ever get the feeling like the guy on the other end of the phone is like "Hmmm, 68 million... all I got is 65 million... hey... HEY PEG! Ya what? You got 3 million in your purse? I think so, let me look, well, I dunno, I probably do... Ok, Ok... 68 MILLION!"
Watching the descent of man..and they all look jolly happy.
There is an entire room at the national meseum at Trafalgar square dedicated to Monet. Large Monet paintings like the bathers, where you can see the dots like a color television grain.. Great is the Glory of the Lord. PS. I sold some of my water color paintings Sothebys. It was sold as s batch for a small fee, which they said, went towards the cost. I didn't get any money.
I saw that painting at the Chicago art institute
Monet painted several versions of the same scene there is one in the National Gallery of Scotland too.
you have to understand that 'beauty' and 'price' are two completely different things. 'price' depends on what it symbolizes/represents in the society. you could say that you're making/buying history. and you have to do well at symbolizing/branding yourself to be recognized in history.

How many person could have been feed with that huge amount of money.
None, the money belongs to a private individual. You should be asking where are your tax dollars going and why aren't they being used for the poor? It's because the poor will always be with us. It is a problem that will never be solved.
