On the evening of May 8 the first night of the sale Young Girl with a Flower Basket (oil on canvas, 1905) by Pablo Picasso is sold for $US115 million.[5] along with world record prices for works by Claude Monet (Nymphéas en fleur 1914-1917 $84.7 million) and Henri Matisse (Odalisque couchée aux magnolias 1923 $80.7 million), all contributing to a new world record for a single collection at auction of $832.6 million, the record previously having been held by the $484 million total achieved for the art collection of Pierre Berge and Yves Saint Laurent.[6][7]
  • May 25 - Second attack on Ilya Repin's painting Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan in the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, by an inebriated visitor.

  • August 13 - Despite warning signs, a man in his sixties is hospitalized after falling into a cavity created in a gallery floor at the Serralves Museum in Porto, Portugal, for the 1992 Anish Kapoor work "Descent into Limbo" (titled after the 1492 painting by Andrea Mantegna).[10]
  • October 5 - A version of Banksy's artwork Balloon Girl is auctioned at Sotheby's in London for £1,042,000. Moments after the closing bid, the artwork partially shreds itself by means of a paper shredder hidden in the frame[11] to become Love is in the Bin.

  • November 15 - A canvas by David Hockney, Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) (1972) sells at Christies in New York City for $90.3 million US dollars with fees, thus shattering the previous record for the most expensive work of art by a living artist ever sold at auction.

Therein the gun lobby group had without the sculptor's consent used a filmed image of his work in an approximately one minute long promotional video called "The Violence of Lies". Kapoor says of the victory which is inclusive of having the image of his work removed from the NRA's film that "They have now complied with our demand to remove the unauthorized image of my sculpture Cloud Gate from their abhorrent video, which seeks to promote fear, hostility, and division in American society.”[16][17]
