New York City art auctions feature most expensive paintings
Icons of 20th and 21st century art history – including Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Roy Lichtenstein and Mark Rothko – are on display at Christie’s and Sotheby’s auction houses in New York City ahead of the annual spring sales. The top lot at Sotheby’s is a sculpture that Alberto Giacometti made in his postwar period (1954-1955) of his younger brother Diego, with whom he shared a studio. Sotheby’s expects the sculpture, titled 'Grande Tete Mince,' to sell for more than $70 million.

00:00This is perhaps one of his great masterpieces.
00:27It is a portrait of his brother Diego, who was his lifelong companion, and dare I say
00:34muse, but someone who he frequently depicted in his work.
00:39What's extraordinary about this cast is not only its scale and grandeur, but of the six
