I was watching an early morning documentary on Sky Arts (hello sailor) about Christie's, Sotheby's etc.
Now I'm far from a philistine - I am a patron of the arts and artist both (multi-disciplinary regular artist and piss-artist nonpareil) but watching this, there was an auction a few years back and one version of the same subject sold for $52,887,500.
Was it:
Correggio - Leda e il Cigno (1530/31).
Or
Cy Twombly - Leda and the Swan (1962).
Have a guess which?
I can never decide in certain cases whether art sometimes robs the rich to feed the poor
