The most expensive works to come under the hammer
Feb 4th 2010 | From The Economist online
A SCULPTURE by Alberto Giacometti, one of the 20th century's greatest artists, fetched a record price at Sotheby's, a London auction house, on Wednesday February 3rd. The work, “L'Homme qui Marche I”, was bought for $104.3m (including buyer's premium), a tad more than a painting by Pablo Picasso, “Garçon à la Pipe”, which went under the hammer in 2004. The Giacometti probably fetched a high price because such large and important examples of his work rarely come onto the market. Not all masterpieces are auctioned. The most anyone has paid for a painting is a rumoured $140m in a private sale of a Jackson Pollock. In inflation-adjusted terms the priciest work of art ever sold at auction is Vincent Van Gogh's “Portrait du Docteur Gachet”—in 1990 it fetched the equivalent of $135.5m at today's prices.
∵我對這個創下歷史新高拍賣價格的『藝術作品』實在太感興趣了
就是Alberto Giacometti創作的雕像
叫“L'Homme qui Marche I” 應該是個法國藝術家吧
憑藉我破爛的法文 我想這title的意思應該是
『行進中的男人 一號』吧 (挖哈哈英文翻譯果然是walking man I)

跑去goo了一下 沒想到 真的就是上面照片裡那個東西!!!!
我一定是太震驚了才寧可不相信自己的眼睛要去goo個事實
這乾屍/僵屍一號居然要價$104.3M美金
他還有兄弟親友團二號三號ㄟ
我連換算成台幣都不想 就算是104.3M台幣我都嫌貴啊……
But反正又不是我的錢 他都不肉痛了我幹嗎心疼來著
不過我還是不大能接受 剛繼續goo
還有一個一樣的雕像but放在漂亮室內+漂亮背景襯托感覺好多了比較不像乾屍/僵屍了啊
