The biggest week of the year for art sales has wrapped up, and market swings and China tariffs didn't stop wealthy collectors from spending $1.5 billion on major pieces.
One of the few paintings in Claude Monet's celebrated "Haystacks" series that still remains in private hands sold at auction on Tuesday for $110.7 million, setting a record for an Impressionist work.
The oil on canvas was one of 25 paintings in a series depicting stacks of harvested wheat belonging to Monet's neighbor in Giverny, France. The oil on canvas, titled "Meules" and completed in 1890, is the first piece of Impressionist art to command more than $100 million at auction, said Sotheby's, which handled the sale.
