This Is What A $46.5M Painting Looks Like.

#1 Mark Rothko, Untitled (Yellow and Blue)

Sotheby's in New York held a record-setting auction last night with paintings from Lichtenstein (that pop art guy who painted comic book crying ladies) and Andy Warhol (that dude who liked soup... or did he? Hard to say).

But, one of the highlights from the evenings was stunning blue and yellow number painted in 1954 by manic-depressive American artist Mark Rothko.

Someone paid $46.5 Million dollars for it.

#2 This girl got that picture for free.

$46.5 mill is kinda a lot. For reference, a Bel Air Mansion that used to belong to music star and chicken roaster Kenny Rogers just sold for $46.25 million.

The mansion, Liongate, has 24,000 sq ft of space. The Rothko, at 8ft x 6ft, by comparison, only has 48 sq ft.

#3 $46.25 million

#4 A quarter million more*
