The 1932 Pablo Picasso painting Nude, Green Leaves and Bust has sold for a record amount at auction.

The painting of Picasso’s mistress sold for an astounding $106.5 million, a world record for any work of art sold at auction.  With a pre-sale estimate of around $80 million, no one was as surprised as Christie’s auction house when the painting sold for such a high amount to an unidentified telephone bidder on Tuesday.

Congratulations to the high luxury bidder, may you wear your mistress proudly.
