Modigliani

The Acqua di Cristallo Tributo a Modigliani was recorded as the world's most expensive water bottle in 2010 by the Guinness World Records.

Chinese billionaire Liu Yiqian, who doesn't exactly struggle to afford a plane ticket, can now likely fly free, in first class, with his whole family, anywhere in the world, for the rest of his life.

Mr Liu is believed to have purchased two other paintings - both worth millions of dollars - using his American Express Centurion card. The credit card transactions would have earned him many millions in reward points, analysts noted.

A Chinese collector snapped up a sensuous Modigliani nude for $170.4 million in New York, setting a new world record price at auction for the Italian artist in a bumper Christie's sale.

Christie's on Monday smashed new world record prices at auction for Amedeo Modigliani and Roy Lichtenstein, selling works by the artists for $170.4 million and $95.37 million respectively.

An Asian collector splurged nearly $43 million on an Amadeo Modigliani painting in New York, scooping the top prize in an otherwise lackluster evening sale at Sotheby's that kicked off the autumn auction season.

Sotheby's kicked off New York auction season today by selling $377 worth of art amassed by self-made billionaire Alfred Taubman in a slightly lackluster night that fell short of top estimates.
