What is the most expensive work by a living artist?
The record is held by the sculpture Rabbit by Jeff Koons, auctioned for 91.1 million dollars. It has long been the highest-priced work by a living artist at auction. For comparison, the most expensive work by a living woman artist, the painter Marlene Dumas, reached 13.6 million dollars — which says a great deal about how unequal the market still is.
