Monet strikes record

A CLAUDE Monet painting, “Meule,” part of his famous grainstack series, sold at auction in New York on Wednesday for US$81.4 million, a record for the French master, Christie’s said. The previous record was in June 2008. At the time, “Bassin aux nympheas” (“Water Lilies”) took US$80.4 million at a sale in London. The final price, which includes fees and commission, crushed Christie’s pre-sale estimate of US$45 million.
