A sculpture by Edgar Degas sold Thursday for $41.6 million at Christie's in New York, the highest price paid at auction for a work by the French artist, while a bronze by Pablo Picasso also broke a record.
The Degas sculpture -- "Petite danseuse de quatorze ans" -- is a delicate bronze with a brown patina depicting a young ballerina in a muslin skirt with a ribbon in her hair, AFP said.
