Origianl Article found on nypost.com Photo: Pablo Picasso’s “Women of Algiers (Version O)”Photo: AP Collectors with money to burn set world records at Christie’s in Midtown on Monday as two works of art fetched astronomical amounts on the auction block. The records started falling when Pablo Picasso’s “Women of Algiers (Version O)” sold for $179 million, making it the most expensive artwork of any kind ever sold at auction. An hour later, a life-size Alberto Giacometti sculpture, “Pointing Man,” sold for more than $141 million, the most ever for a sculpture at auction. The pieces were bought by anonymous bidders over the phone in frenzied bidding wars that elicited gasps in the auction room. “Women of Algiers (Version O)” is part of a 15-work series Picasso painted in 1954-55 and depicts a colorful array of overlapping nude figures. It was partially inspired by the work of 19th-century French artist Eugene Delacroix. Dated 1947, “Pointing Man” is a 5-foot-10 bronze stick figure with its right arm extended. Christie’s calls it “one of the most important achievements of the Modern era.” The prices smashed the previous records. Francis Bacon’s painting “Three Studies of Lucian Freud” had set the record for an artwork at auction when Christie’s sold it for $142.4 million in 2013. Another Giacometti piece, “Walking Man I,” had broken the auction record for a sculpture when it sold for $104.3 million in 2010. Experts said Monday’s prices were driven by investment value and wealthy collectors looking to make a profit.

Foto: Christie's JEDNA Picassova slika postigla je u ponedjeljak rekord kao najskuplje ikad prodano umjetničko djelo postigavši cijenu od 179,4 milijuna dolara na dražbi u Christie'su u New Yorku. Dražbovateljska kuća procijenila je da će se kubističko ulje španjolskog slikara Pabla Picassa "Les femmes d'Alger (Verzija O)" prodati za oko 140 milijuna dolara, ali je nekoliko ponuđača natječući se putem telefona dovelo pobjedničku ponudu do 160 milijuna dolara što uz proviziju Christie'sa od nešto preko 12 posto čini konačnu cijenu od 179.365.000 dolara. Prethodno je najskuplje djelo prodano na dražbi bio triptih Francisa Bacona "Tri studije Luciana Freudea" koje je postiglo cijenu od 142,4 milijuna dolara u Christie'su u studenom 2013.
