"Water Lilies,'' Monet's 1907 rendition of his beloved garden in Giverny, France, went to an undisclosed buyer in the season-opening auction of impressionist and modern art at Christie's on Tuesday. The painting, part of Clark's collection since 1930, has not been publicly exhibited since 1926. It had been expected to sell for 25 to 35 million dollars.

The buyer was a private client of Elaine Holt, Christie's vice president and director of Impressionist and modern art in Hong Kong.
