[quote]New York (CNN) -- A Picasso painting fetched nearly $106.5 million at auction Tuesday, a record for any single work of art, Christie's New York said.
"Nude, Green Leaves and Bust" sold for $106,482,500 to an unidentified telephone bidder, the auction house said in a news release.
"Silence fell over the packed saleroom as Christopher Burge conducted nine minutes of bidding that involved eight clients," it said. "Christie's lead auctioneer took bids from a client in the saleroom as well as those on the phone before the competition settled down to two bidders at the $88 million mark and a one-on-one battle ensued. The final bid was hammered down at 7.32 p.m. at $95 million."[/quote]
the beautiful art in question?

The reason it is so expensive is based on the talent of the artist. Picasso was a child prodigy.
Picasso was painting stuff like this:

At the age of 14.
Don't like the idea that painting rubbish earns him millions? So do I! :sigh:

Picasso's art was virtually worthless throughout his life. It wasn't worth anything until long after his death.
Gee, I'm jealous.

What? No, actually Picasaso was a very famous one in his life time. He used to be able to go into a cafe, sign a napkin and sell it for a meal.
I like picazzo but 106,5 million is a bit steep.
It's funny that you are all blaming picasso for this and not the guy would bought it for 106m.
Whoever bought it must be a big [I]shot.[/I]
