Mark Rothko's "Black Stripe (Orange, Gold and Black)", $20 million?

Hurricane Sandy has extended the suspense on how much a number of works by impressionist, modern and contemporary artists will sell for in a postponed auction at Sotheby's and another scheduled sale at Christie's International in New York according to this WSJ article.

One of the potentially most valuable of the items on offer at Christie's will be Mark Rothko's "Black Stripe (Orange, Gold and Black)", slated to go for in excess of $15 million.



I'm not going to bid quite that much.
