'Benefits Supervisor Sleeping' by Lucian Freud totaled $33,641,000 at Christie's New York on May 13, 2008 and established a new auction record for a living artist. The most significant work by Freud to appear at auction, the life-size 'Benefits Supervisor Sleeping' (estimate: $25-35 million) also eclipsed the previous Freud record set by Christie's last season for 'Ib and Her Husband' (sold on November 13, 2007 for $19,361,000). © The Artist
For admirers of Lucian Freud wanted to report a wonderful italian artist: Giovanni Gasparro (search his name on Google, where you can also read the interview for the web magazine Cannibali)

Wow ... so surreal to see people casually raise their hand to spend millions of dollars. I've never seen anything like it before.
