Amedeo Modigliani's painting of a sultry nude fetched $170.4 million from a Chinese buyer at Christie's on Monday, a record for the Italian artist at auction.
Estimated at more than $100 million, Modigliani's 1917 "Nu Couche (Reclining Nude)" has the highest valuation among almost 2,000 lots offered by three major auction houses during semiannual sales of Impressionist, modern, postwar and contemporary art in New York.
