@artseal.hq: Bought for $750,000 in 1928. Sold back for $500,000 in 1930. Collector Alfred Erickson bought Rembrandt’s Aristotle with a Bust of Homer from art dealer Joseph Duveen, then sold it back to him two years later for $250,000 less. And the story didn’t end there: Erickson bought it again in 1936 for $590,000. Today, the painting belongs to The Met. Even a Rembrandt’s price can go down. Would you have bought it back?
