How much would you have paid for this piece, had you had the money available?
The hammer finally fell at a hair under $87 million, including final commission, breaking both the previous record for Rothko’s most expensive work of $72.84 million and the record for any contemporary work of art at auction, Christie’s said.
Collectors were in full cry all evening, knocking 14 artists’ records down and repeatedly meeting or exceeding pre-sale high estimates.
Total takings of $388.5 million were the highest ever for a contemporary art auction, a record last set in 2007, Christie’s said.

It sold for $119,922,500, which includes the premium paid to Sotheby’s.
