Washington
(ANI):
Hollywood
heartthrob
Brad
Pitt
has
bought
a
painting
at
an
international
art
show
for
almost
1
million
dollars.
The
'Inglourious
Basterds" star
was
among
bidders
at
Art
Basel,
a
show
featuring
modern
and
contemporary
works
in
Basel,
Switzerland.
Pitt
initially
walked
away
from
the
Neo
Rauch
oil
painting
after
pondering
the
purchase
for
several
minutes,
according
to
the
Wall
Street
Journal.
The
actor
eventually
returned
moments
later
to
drop
956,000
dollars
for
the
nine-foot
piece,
entitled
Etappe,
reports
Contactmusic.
The
1998
painting
shows
a
swirling
view
of
a
driver
behind
a
red
racecar,
with
workers
nearby
carrying
hoses.
