Weaving links between New York’s auction houses and art dealers, a revered British Leonardo da Vinci expert, one opportunistic Swiss go-between, a Russian oligarch, London’s Tate Gallery, Le Musée du Louvre in Paris, and a Saudi Arabian prince, journalist Antoine Vitkine delves into the secrets of the art world, and explores the influence that one painting can have. After mysteriously appearing, a painting titled Salvator Mundi (The Savior of the World) was sold at Christie’s auction house, for a record 450 million US dollars in 2017. Attributed to Leonardo da Vinci after its discovery, what became the most expensive piece of art ever has unleashed passions, while revealing the excesses of our time. Journeying along the hidden trails of money, power, and deception lying behind this questionable masterpiece, this film asks: is this really the work of the Italian genius, or one of the greatest scams in the history of art?

存疑的名画在各方的助力下拍出了天价,4.5亿被沙特王储小萨勒曼买下。

沙特王儲也是個會燒錢的主,光今年在軟銀vision fund (主要投在WeWork和Uber) 上虧的錢起碼也有過百億美元了,Salvator Mundi也算是在他和PIF眾多投資裏算是最具代表性的了;俄羅斯富豪在畫作無法辨偽的情況一個億買下,也可以說是獨具慧眼了,要知道當時這畫的街邊估值是不過$15m;最後 — 所有人要不賺了名聲要不賺了數字,這是一場沒有輸家的德州撲克。

其實這部剛好可以和the lost leonardo比較著看. 事實上兩部片採訪的人基本是同一批人,所以就很能看出兩者的敘事差別與側重吧. lost leonardo視角也許更偏anglophone一點,而savior for sale 大概更偏法語來源一些. 可能個人更喜歡The Lost Leonardo一些吧.
