'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.
