$106.5 Million
At times like this I always think of Kevin Bacon's line in Diner: Do you ever get the feeling that there's something going on that we don't know about?

Same way that baseball card people know what is the thing to own, Picasso freaks know that this is one of his best.

Trimmed?
I heard rumors that it was cut from a sheet and trimmed.

No wonder the price---It's the "impossible to find" one-boob version.

As an amateur fine art connoisseur it has that subtle yet underlined quality I look for in a fine oil painting from a great master…….…boobs.
 Somewhere in cyberspace there’s an art chat room with a bunch of guys saying the painting went way to cheap, or saying something doesn’t seem quite right about this sale. Who knows perhaps there are spats on that board as well? Where folks decide to leave the art hobby and list all their works in the BST.

Wonder if there was any shilling - do you think they checked the seller's feedback rating?
 Does Christie's accept Paypal?

At least one auction house comes to mind that probably could have gotten at least $400 million for that Picasso. I wonder whether Christie's thought to take the painting around to a couple fine-art shows so that interested collectors could see it up close and maybe hold it in their hands. You know, market the painting.

I am surprised a west coaster didn't wait until 3 AM to throw his bid in!

Who would be comfortable knowing that a 100 million dollar painting was hanging in their home?
Wasn't three Picasso's stolen last year from a home? Answered my own question and Googled it. Here is the Times account of the theft.... His granddaughter to boot! http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/01/ar...gn/01pica.html
