Rothko sells for almost $73 million
Art world records were shattered last night when a painting by the US abstract artist Mark Rothko became the most expensive contemporary work ever to be sold at auction.
The $72.84 million selling price for the artist's 1950 work White Center (Yellow, Pink, Lavender on Rose) was nearly three times the $27.1 million previous record, set last November, for any post-war work selling at auction.
