Max Ernst’s The Stolen Mirror, a Surrealist tour-de-force painting, which realized $16,322,500 (£10,283,175/€11,915,425), set a new artist record that more than tripled the artist’s previous record. The Stolen Mirror, widely regarded as one of the artist’s finest works, is a dream-like landscape painted in 1941 at the height of Ernst’s most feverish output.
