Article is new enough, long enough, and well-referenced. However, I could not find a reference that verifies the hook fact that it "set a world record auction price for Post-War art and for Abstract Expressionist art". The NYT article only says it set a record for contemporary art. Also the QPQ is missing. -Zanhe (talk) 23:45, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

So it's redundant to mention both. How about:
