Interesting discussion with no restrictions - something rare in Qatar, I must say.
The other day I read that The Sheika and the Emir bought a painting that cost $72.84 million US$
Qatar’s ruling Al-Thani family is the mystery buyer of Mark Rothko’s White Center (Yellow, Pink and Lavender on Rose), 1950, which sold at Sotheby’s New York on 15 May 2007 for $72.8m - setting a record for the highest price ever paid for a work of post-war art at auction. The painting was consigned by David Rockefeller.
