...hands, Nahmad paid about $300,000 for the piece. Although he is sanguine about the market, the dealer, based in Monte Carlo, Monaco, was staggered by Monday's sale, which also netted records for Piet Mondrian (two of the Dutchman's paintings sold for eight-digit figures), Giorgio de Chirico, Marcel Duchamp, Paul Klee and James Ensor. "It was the most amazing auction I've ever seen," Nahmad said on the main floor just after the last lot sold.

He had no use for pure abstraction, but the intricate construction of his pictures shows how well he understood...
