Andy Warhol's "200 One Dollar Bills" was on the block at Sotheby's last night. The opening bid was $6 million, with an estimate of $12 million but sold for a staggering $43.7 million, marking an end to the 12 month slump in the contemporary art market. The seller turned a huge profit having purchased the pop work for $385,000 in 1986.
