Nude portrait by Italian painter Modigliani fetches $157 million in auction Monday May 14,2018

A nude portrait by Amedeo Modigliani sold for $157.2 million at Sotheby's on Monday May 14,2018, achieving the 4th-highest price for any work of art at auction but failing to set a new record for the artist.

Sotheby's had estimated "Nu couché (sur le côté gauche)" to sell for in excess of $150 million, which made the 1917 oil painting the highest-estimated work of art in auction history.
