Record for 'Big Sue'

Lucian Freud - Benefits Supervisor Sleeping (1995)Lucian Freud's gross painting of "Big Sue" Tilley in training for the Couch Potato of the Year Award - Benefits Supervisor Sleeping (1995) - sold at Christie's New York auction for a new world record for a living artist: £17.2m ($33.6m). Another one for the vault. Who'd want this on their wall? Maybe if the wife is an elephant....
