Art as commodity - Fall 2006 NYC Contemporary Art Auctions: Christie's Fall auction of Contemporary Art included Andy Warhol's painting Mao (1972) which was acquired by the Hong Kong collector Joseph Lau for $17 million the highest price ever paid for a work by Warhol. The international art market is experiencing a staggering growth period: the combined sales of Christie's and Sotheby's in New York of contemporary impressionist and modern art totaled around $ billion surpassing records set during the early 1990ies before the the art market crashed.
