How does this artwork elucidate its 1890–1891 series?
On May 14, 2019, a privately held work from this series (Grainstacks, 1890) exchanged hands at $110.7 million, setting a record for a Monet work and becoming the first impressionist work to surpass $100 million. The buyer of the work was Hasso Plattner. Since September 2020, the painting is on display at the Museum Barberini in Potsdam.
Climate activists threw mashed potatoes at the painting in October 2022, but it was not damaged and was cleaned and put back on display.
