Carol Vogel Outs Cohen as Chariot Buyer

November 10, 2014 by Marion Maneker

Giacometti, Chariot

It appears that Steven Cohen remains a savvy dealmaker. According to Carol Vogel, he bought Giacometti’s Chariot off one bid last week. Vogel doesn’t identify her source but pairs the news with comments from William Acquavella:

The lone bidder who spent $101 million at Sotheby’s last Tuesday night for Giacometti’s “Chariot,’’ a 1950 sculpture of a spindly woman riding atop a chariot, was the hedge fund billionaire Steven A. Cohen, experts with knowledge of the sale said Monday.[…]

“Steve is a very serious, very astute collector,’’ Mr. Acquavella said. “He also has just the right instincts, ones that can’t be learned from reading art history books.’’
