Mark Rothko's 'No. 15 (Two Greens and Red Stripe)' achieved $98.4M, setting a new record for the artist tonight at Christie's New York in Rockefeller Center.
The 1964 masterpiece from the collection of Agnes Gund was acquired directly from the artist during a visit to Rothko's studio three years after the work was created. As one of Gund's most cherished pieces, it left her apartment only once before coming to auction — and now cements itself in art history.
