A messy bed sells for $4.3M
Now here’s some artwork On The Money can relate to.
British artist Tracey Emin sold her installation “My Bed,” for $4.3 million, a record for her work.
The piece consists of Emin’s unmade bed with rumpled sheets, empty vodka bottles, underwear and cigarette packets.
Who knew it was art and not just a typical Monday morning?
“I was really nervous and then six people started bidding and everybody cheered and that made me feel better,” the 51-year-old Emin said in an interview last week. “I thought it was just brilliant.”
