| Alberto Giacometti's "Walking Man I" sculpture has sold at Sotheby's for $104.3 million, breaking the record for the most expensive artwork ever sold at auction. The previous record-holder was Picasso's "Boy With a Pipe," which sold for $104.2 million 6 years ago, the Wall Street Journal reports. The sale of Giacometti's 1960 work, a 6-foot-tall bronze, could signal a resurgence for sluggish art sales.
