The power of Pablo Picasso's brush and the prescience of Patsy and Raymond Nasher's collectors' eyes proved to be a record-setting combination Wednesday evening at Sotheby's auction house in New York.
Pablo Picasso's The Kiss, an oil on canvas painted the day before the artist's 88th birthday, brought a record price Wednesday. Two late Picasso paintings and two Alberto Giacometti sculptures were sold at the impressionist/modern and contemporary art sale to benefit the endowment of the Nasher Sculpture Center.
