On 19.06.2006 there was an auction of Italian painters in London. The highest sold picture was a portrait by Amedeo Modigliani. He painted his partner in 1919 "Jeanne Hebuterne (with hat)"
There is a tragic story behind this painting - it was made just a year before the suicide of Hebuterne, who was pregnant at the time with Modigliani's child. The painter died shortly after.
Yet what happened in Sotheby is not a record for a Modigliani. In November 2004 another Modigliani was sold for 30.3 mln dollars.
