Works by Picasso and Giacometti Lead Christie's Sale of Impressionist and Modern Art
http://art2news.corank.com/tech/story/works-by-Picasso-and-G...
This art sale by Christie's made a total of $102,767,000/£68,511,333 /€77,268,421 for paintings and sculptures with top lots from artists Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, and Tamara de Lempicka. Recently, more contemporary works have been the ones most wanted by people with enough money to buy them. One of Pablo Picasso's works was the highest selling, which is awesome because he was a weirdo. His painting sold for $14,642,500 million. Which would probably be better spent on wheat crackers. But hey. There were many high-selling paintings. Some were seductive, some were rare, some were boring. This auction ended today, Thursday the 7th, the day this current event was due. How fancy.
