Nov. 11, 1971 - Record Price Picasso Painting is Bought In After Failing to Reach the Reserve Price at Christie's. Picasso's Blue Period painting Mere et Enfant de Profil was offered for auction at Christie's today, but it was bought in for 80, 000. The picture fetched a world record price for a work by a living artist when it was sold in London four years ago for 90, 000. It has not been seen in public since it was sold to an anonymous American buyer who put it into a bank vault when he learned the cost of insuring the painting.
