Seeking to acquire
their own taste of Rothschild,
bidders competed Thursday for a
famous collection of paintings,
furniture and ornaments stolen by
the Nazis in World War II and only recently returned to their rightful owners.
The treasures of the Rothschild family fetched more than double their
expected prices, with the Christie's sale earning a total of $90.7 million, the
biggest auction ever held in Europe.
