LONDON (AFP) – Salvador Dali's "Portrait de Paul Eluard" set a world record at Sotheby's auction house in London Thursday when it was sold for more than 13 million pounds (21.6 million dollars, 15.8 million euros).
An anonymous bidder paid 13.4 million pounds for the 1929 masterpiece, the most ever for a Surrealist work at auction, breaking a record set in London only last night for a Dali piece at auction.
The 1929 Surrealist piece portrays French poet Paul Eluard, one of the pivotal figures of the movement and demonstrates many of the key elements that defined the eccentric Spanish artist's style.
