Carol Vogel for the NY Times reports "Mystery Bidder Spends $95 Million on a Picasso."
"The buyer, unrecognized by the crowds who kept craning their necks to get a glimpse of him bidding, was said by those who sat near him to sound Russian."
…
"An ecstatic David Norman, director of Impressionist and Modern art for Sotheby's in New York, said after the sale that the buyer of the expensive Picasso 'was someone with fabulous taste,' adding, 'Pictures like that are few and far between.'"
