Auction
Auction
Based on true events, veteran French director, Pascal Bonitzer depicts the highbrow world of Parisian auctioneers at the famous (and fictional) Scottie’s auction house, where a hotshot wheeler-dealer receives a letter concerning the discovery of a painting in the home of a factory worker in the suburbs on the Alsatian border. Said painting, by Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele, had been long assumed lost — condemned and destroyed as “degenerate art” by the Nazis in 1939. His first reaction is that it can only be a fake, a copy. When he decides to make the trip to examine it anyway, against all odds the painting turns out to be the masterpiece gone missing. This could be the turning point of his career. But after a brief investigation, he realizes that he has in his hands a looted work of art.
