Recently at Christie’s in London, bidding took place on Henry Moore’s sculpture called “Reclining Figure Festival.” The British sculpture set a record for the most expensive piece ever, with a groundbreaking price tag of $30.24 Million. However, the sculptor was originally estimated to sell for $5.5M.
