'Rabbit' by Jeff Koons has become the world's most expensive piece of work sold by a living artist sold at auction. A sculpture by American artist Jeff Koons sold on Wednesday for $91.1 million at an auction organized by Christie's in New York -- a record price for a living artist.
The selling price of "Rabbit" was only $80 million, but once commissions and fees were added, the final total rose to $91.075 million. Created by Koons in 1986, "Rabbit" is among the best-known works by the artist, who built a reputation for challenging art world conventions. Before his death in 2017, his empire included Conde Nast, which published magazines like Vogue, The New Yorker and Vanity Fair.
