NEW YORK-- Pablo Picasso's sinuous, lavender-hued painting of his mistress, "Nude, Green Leaves and Bust" (1932), sold for $106.5 million Monday night at Christie's International -- the highest amount ever paid for an artwork at auction.
The price surpassed the $104.2 million paid in 2004 for a 1905 Picasso painting, "Garcon a la Pipe," at Sotheby's in New York. And it exceeded the $103.4 million paid for Giacometti's sculpture "Walking Man I" (1960) in February at Sotheby's in London.
"Nude, Green Leaves and Bust" had been projected to sell for $70 million to $90 million.
Fuck that shit, I would've saved myself the money and fired off some knuckle children to big, delicious tits on PornHub for free and spent it on finding the mythically elusive McRib. Oh, and I'd probably use some of that money at Sam's Club to get some more paper towels since I've ran out and resorted to using tube socks the past few days...
