<p>The previous record for a living artist’s work sold at auction was set by British artist David Hockney.</p>
<p>His 1972 Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) brought in 90.3 million dollars at Christie’s last year.</p>
<p>The New York Times says Robert E Mnuchin, an art dealer and the father of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, was the winning bidder for “Rabbit”, which had an estimated sale price of at least 50 million dollars.</p>
<p>Christie’s says the sculpture is one of three editions plus one artist’s proof.</p>
