Eileen Gray's 'Dragons' Armchair
Made around 1917-1919, this piece was the top lot of the second night of the sale, going $28.3 million, a world record for a work of 20th-century decorative art at auction, and a world record for the artist at auction. It blew away its pre-auction estimate of $2.5 million to $3.8 million.
