NEW YORK (AP) — An eerie nighttime streetscape below a pale blue daytime sky by the Belgian surrealist René Magritte sold for $121.2 million, a record for the artist, at an auction in New York.

A $121.2 million René Magritte. A $68.3 million Ed Ruscha. And don’t forget that $6.2 million banana that sold for six times its asking price. To anyone looking in, the art market appeared to come roaring back this week—but it’s anyone’s guess if the party will last.

The Italian artist who created the banana duct-taped to a wall that sold this week for $6.2 million, said in an interview published on Friday that the work was a "provocation" and an invitation to appreciate the true value of art.
