A monumental painting by Haitian-American Jean-Michel Basquiat, “In This Case,” fetched $ 93.1 million at a Christie’s auction in New York on Tuesday, almost doubling the price estimated by experts at the business.
The sale of “In This Case” started at 40 million dollars, but it took less than 10 seconds to rise to 50 million, the price that Christie’s had estimated for the valuable piece, the undisputed star of the 21st Century Art auction from this leading auction house in its sector.
