Presumably, now it's worth more.

Awesome! Reminds me of the excellent movie (haven't read the book) Thomas Crown Affair.

I never understood art prices. I can get a very good replica of any famous art piece, at a fraction of the price, and it will contain 99.9% of the beauty of the original.

I wonder if the science part of the mind is at odds with the artistic part, because I've always been drawn to science / utility, and took little interest in art.
