Robin Pogrebin and Scott Reyburn
Leonardo da Vinci's Salvator Mundi, considered either the most important old master work to be
auctioned in a generation or a damaged painting hyped by savvy marketing, sold on Wednesday night
for $US450.3 million ($592 million)with fees, a record for any work of art sold at auction.
It far surpassed the sale of Picasso's Women of Algiers, which fetched $US179.4 million at Christie's in May 2015.

Apparently "priceless" it ain't.
They put a stop south of $ half a billion
so as not to arouse peasant indignation.
An overdue consideration.
