The work was auctioned at Sotheby’s in New York and carried a presale estimate in excess of $120 million.
A 1932 painting by Pablo Picasso, Femme à la montre, sold for $139.3 million on Wednesday night at Sotheby’s in New York.
In a stroke, it became the second-most expensive piece by the artist to sell at auction after Les femmes d’Alger (Version ‘O’), which sold for $179 million at Christie’s New York in 2015.
