Three Van Gogh works totaled $154m at New York auction

China Daily  

Cabanes de bois parmi les oliviers et cyprès, by Vincent van Gogh. A trio of works, evidence to Van Gogh's exploding creativity especially in the last stage of his life, sold for a total of $154 million at Christie's in New York on Nov 11. Cabanes de bois parmi les oliviers et cyprès, which Van Gogh painted in 1889, fetched $71.35 million. The oil painting brings to life the landscape of southern France as Van Gogh combined two of his favorite motifs -- olive tree and cypress, other than the sunflower -- to symbolize vigor and power.
