GROSSE POINTE (WKZO) — The buyer of a 100-million dollar work of art has been disclosed.
Qatar Museums, the emirate’s museum authority, bought a 1904 Cezanne from the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House. The piece was sold privately in 2013 but it wasn’t until now that the purchaser was made public.
Reportedly the Ford House is using proceeds from the sale to create an endowment to preserve and restore its collection and the 1929 mansion.
