An auction of a possible Caravaggio is called off as a collector swoops in

The first auction of a possible Caravaggio in at least 40 years took on even more mystery on Monday, when the sale—set for Thursday—was canceled after a buyer snatched up the alleged work by the Baroque master.

The long-lost work from 1606, “Judith and Holofernes,” had an estimate between $115 million and $170 million.
