After a 14-minute battle involving five bidders — four on the phone and one in the room — a new auction high was set for the French Impressionist Claude Monet on Wednesday evening when the artist’s radiant 1891 canvas “Meule,” or “Grainstack,” fetched $81.4 million with fees at Christie’s in Manhattan.
“The Impressionist market is alive and well,” said Brooke Lampley, head of the Impressionist and Modern Art department at the auction house.

Show me the Monet.....................
Well crap. I was sure the one I have was original. Dang it.
Please. This is absurd, a religion, a cult that worships clutter and junk. A sign of spiritual sickness. And I like the painting...
Perhaps to the buyer the 81.4 million was clutter and junk, especially if it was in $1 bills.
I love the Impressionists, but did you ever look at a painting and think "I could've pained that"?
No, yours is a Manet, not a Monet.................
I’ve looked at paintings and thought my dog could have painted that...............Jackson
Pollock, especially................
Funny story. When our son was in grade school, his art teacher had all the students do a ‘Jackson Pollock’ painting. His is in the colors of our spare bedroom, so we decided to frame it and put it up. At an Aaron Brothers store, at the checkout, my husband said to me ‘did you get a frame for the Pollocky picture?’. The The Art consultant nearly passed out saying ‘ YOU HAVE A POLLOCK?”. No, we explained, but did we ever have a good laugh after we left. And our son’s picture does look like an original.....except it’s on construction paper.
LOL!..................
