For as single work of world record price, “Nu au Plateau”, Pablo Picasso’s 1932 portrait of his mistress, sold for 106.4 million dollars in New York’s Christie’s lasy Tuesday night.

Picasso’s profile can be discerned in the blue background. When it open to sell, the price is between 70 million and 90 million dollars. Six bidders showed interest in the painting. After a fierce round of bidding, Nicholas Hall, an expert at Christie’s, took the winning bid by telephone, but declined to say who he was bidding for. This world auction price breaks the 104.3 million dollar record set three months ago by Alberto Giacometti’s “Walking Man I” sculpture at Sotheby’s.
