Hard to believe that painting went for as much as it did. I thought I had read somewhere that the fine art market had flattened out.

This is my other love and I can tell you these prices on anything in the Pop Movement will become the norm for coming future.
The Gen X collectors started embracing this as they became more monied and the Millennials jumped on. I was lucky enough to grab a Robert Dowd study two years ago for a pittance at an auction house as they strangely put it in a philatelic auction. I have been offered 10 times the purchase price already and I am holding. Found a poorly listed Robert Broner signed circuit print on eBay just a few months ago. An accidental find of an artist featured in The Met and MoMA is great fun. The finds are out there if you know what to look for.

I agree. The first post that actually made me laugh out loud in a while. Well done.

From the NYT article on the sale: “Sotheby’s had a lot more works in the middle range round $5 million to $10 million that appealed to the market.”
That's quite the middle range for paintings.
