The Wall Street Journal never leads ME astray

What would you do if you had $104.3 million dollars to spare?

Would you buy this sculpture?


Somebody did. This is Alberto Giacometti's 1960 "Walking Man I," sold to an anonymous buyer at an auction in London last night. The sale of this sculpture broke the record for most spent on a piece of artwork at an auction (second to Monet's "Boy With a Pipe"), and most likely to produce buyer's remorse whenever a picture of starving African children comes on TV. Enjoy that expensive skeleton in your house, anonymous.
