Picasso painting sets new record
An anonymous telephone bidder paid just under 106.5 million dollars for a Picasso painting at a recent Christies auction - yikes!!
The painting was 'lost' for many years, has never before been reproduced in colour and is huge, maybe this goes some way to explain it's value.
Just goes to show that original art is still a good investment, even in these hard times.
