A René Magritte painting depicting an eerily lit streetscape sold for more than $121 million at a Christie’s auction in New York on Tuesday –– surpassing its $95 million estimate and smashing the auction record for the Surrealist artist’s work.

Imagine having enough wealth to buy one painting… and not helping the homeless or those in need.👨🏻‍🦯I will never understand this concept. It’s completely illogical to me.

Yes, there is no price limit for works of art, but one feels a little bit like this is a secret stock manipulation. By the way, I really like Magritte.😊

Might this suggest that the billionaires are getting the hint? Oh, sorry, more foolish optimism.

Art represents such subjective worth. Such an easy vehicle for moving funds?

How much for this then? OK, used a Samsung S10 but it's still a bit of an eerily looking image . .

One of Magritte's classics. He also paints a sunshine lit street at night.
