Pitt initially walked away from the Neo Rauch oil painting after pondering the purchase for several minutes,according to the Wall Street Journal.

The actor eventually returned moments later to drop 956,000 dollars for the nine-foot piece,entitled Etappe,reports Contactmusic.

The 1998 painting shows a swirling view of a driver behind a red racecar,with workers nearby carrying hoses.
