A sculpture by Alberto Giacometti, one of the 20th century's most prominent artists, sold for a record $104.3 million dollars at Sotheby's in London by an anonymous buyer. Bidding began at about $12 million and quickly escalated as 10 bidders fiercely competed for the piece until the last bid. This six foot tall bronze sculpture depicts a man mid-stride and head tall. When we learned about this piece in class, I was shocked that someone would spend this much on a piece that is not very well known.
