twitterTwo paintings valued at more than $95 million added to resort collection
Monday, Aug. 30, 1999 | 11:25 a.m.
Mirage Resorts Inc. Chairman Steve Wynn has picked up a prized Paul Cezanne painting for his Bellagio collection, an art piece that evaded him at an auction three months ago.
The Los Angeles Times reported that Wynn sent his private jet to New York Aug. 24 to pick up the painting, a still life of fruit. The painting went for $60.5 million to an anonymous bidder in a May auction at Sotheby's.
Wynn declined to say how much he paid for the painting, and didn't reveal the seller. The painting is now on display at the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art.
At the May auction, Wynn purchased Georges Seurat's "Landscape, Island of the Grande Jatte" for $35.2 million. The Seurat painting is also now on display at Bellagio.
