“...以3600英镑的价格卖给一名电话竞拍者。”
As the hammer fell, the bronze cast of Joseph Stalin's dead face and hands were sold to an anonymous bidder on the phone for $5,600. Only about a dozen copies of Stalin's death mask were ever made. Most are still in Russia and the former USSR, including in the Stalin Museum in his hometown in Georgia. This mask on sale in Shropshire was one of only two that ended up in the west in the early 1990s taken out of Russia by a British art dealer.
