A sculpture by American artist Jeff Koons sold on May 15 for US$91.1mil (RM379mil) at an auction organised by Christie's in New York - a record price for a living artist.
Rabbit, a stainless steel casting of an inflatable rabbit, was the star of the auction house's spring sale and overtook the previous record set by British painter David Hockney's Portrait Of An Artist (Pool With Two Figures), which sold last November at Christie's for US$90.3mil (RM375mil).
