Picasso's Women of Algiers has become the most expensive painting to sell at auction, going for $160m (£102.6m) at Christie's in New York.

Eleven minutes of prolonged bidding from telephone buyers preceded the final sale - for much more than its pre-sale estimate of $140m.

That is awful, cannot understand anyone wanting to buying it, never mind paying all that money for it.

That's a lot of money to hang on a wall.

I have never enjoyed Piccaso but this is ridiculous.
What they could have done with the money, it makes you wonder how much they have actually got.
