A sculpture by American artist Jeff Koons sold on Wednesday for $91.1 million at an auction organized by Christie's in New York ─ a record price for a living artist.

미국인 작가 제프 쿤스의 조각품이 수요일 뉴욕에서 열린 크리스티 경매에서 9,110만 달러(약 1,085억 원)에 팔렸는데 이는 생존작가 작품 사상 최고 경매가 기록이다.


"Rabbit", a stainless steel casting of an inflatable rabbit, was the star of the auction house's spring sale and overtook the previous record set by British painter David Hockney's "Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures)," which sold last November at Christie's for $90.3 million.

풍선처럼 공기로 부풀릴 수 있는 토끼를 스테인리스강으로 주조한 작품 "토끼(Rabbit)"는 이번 봄 경매의 최대 화제작으로, 작년 11월 크리스티 경매에서 9,030만 달러에 팔린 영국 작가 데이비드 호크니의 "예술가의 초상(Pool with Two Figures)"이 세운 기록을 경신했다.


It was a return to the top for Koons, 64, whose "Balloon Dog (Orange)" for five years held the record for highest price reached at auction for a living artist after its 2013 sale for $58.4 million.

2013년 5,840만 달러에 팔린 '풍선개(오렌지)'로 생존 작가 작품 최고가 기록을 5년간 지켰던 세운 제프 쿤스(64)는 이번 판매로 다시 1위로 복귀했다.


The selling price of "Rabbit" was only $80 million, but once commissions and fees were added, the final total rose to $91.075 million.

'토끼'의 판매가격은 8000만 달러였지만, 경매 수수료가 붙어 총 9,107만5천 달러로 올랐다.


in an unusual turn for an art auction at this price range, the buyer of "Rabbit" was actually in the room during the sale.

이 가격대의 미술품 경매에서는 흔치 않은 일로, '토끼'의 구매자는 실제로 경매장 안에 있었다.


Wednesday's milestone came two years after Christie's in New York set the record for most expensive work of art known to have been sold with the sale of Leonardo de Vinci's "Salvator Mundi" for $450 million.

수요일에 성사된 이번 거래는 레오나르도 다빈치의 '살바토르 문디(구세주)'가 4억5천만 달러에 뉴욕 크리스티 경매에서 팔리면서 미술품 경매 사상 가장 비싼 작품이라는 기록을 세운 지 2년 만에 세워진 대기록이다.


Created by Koons in 1986, "Rabbit" is among the best-known works by the artist, who built a reputation for challenging art world conventions.

제프 쿤스의 1986년 작품 '토끼'는 기존의 미술계의 관습에 도전해 명성을 쌓은 이 예술가의 가장 잘 알려진 작품 중 하나다.
