Auction sale: Giacometti sets sale record £65m sculpture

A sculpture by Alberto Giacometti became the most expensive work of art ever sold at auction when it fetched £65m ($104.3m) at Sotheby’s London on Wednesday night.

The sculpture, “L’Homme qui marche I”, soared over its £12m-£18m estimate and beat the record held by Picasso’s painting “Garçon à la pipe”, which sold for $104.2m at Sotheby’s New York in May 2004.

The buyer was obviously... me... but keep it for yourself.
