According to this account the 1932 Tamara de Lempicka painting of Parisian singer Marjorie Ferry sold at Christie's for $21.2 million. In just a few short years the works of the Polish Art Deco star have skyrocketed in value as art aficionados and investors have come to recognize her unique style.
It's interesting that the article describes de Lempicka as bi-sexual. We seldom see David Hockney or Jasper Johns described as homosexuals in descriptions of them or their art.
