The elusive street
artist Banksy has set a new record price for his work, with his 2009 oil painting
“Devolved Parliament” sold at Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Evening Auction for a
staggering $12.2 million, almost five times exceeding its high estimate. The
art auction was held in London on October 3 and raised a total of $67.3
million. Another highlight of the sale was “Pyro” by Jean-Michel Basquiat,
which was also sold for $12.2 million.
