A 1930s painting by Piet Mondrian has sold for $51m in a New York auction, a record for the artist’s work.
The piece was last sold in 1983 for $2.15m, which is equivalent to $6.4m in today’s money.
The head of impressionist and modern art where the painting was auctioned, described the purchase as a once in a generation occurrence.
