Ever want to see something worth more than your life??? Well my sweets you have come to the right place. Thanks to this lil article posted on Portfolio.com...we can now see the piece of art that tops all others...
The vibrantly colored painting, being sold by David Rockefeller, brought just over $72.8 million, including a buyer's premium of 20 percent on the first $500,000 and 12 percent on the remainder, against a pre-sale estimate of "in excess of $40 million."
Rockefeller watched from a skybox as bidders battled for the piece, whose significance within the context of Rothko's career is as impressive as its provenance. The painting marked Rothko's transition to a style characterized by blocks of color floating against the canvas's background for which the artist is most well-known.
