Pablo Picasso's painting 'Woman sitting by a window' sold at Christie's in New York for $ 103.4 million.

The sale confirms the vitality of the art market, despite the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the special status of Picasso's works.

Overall, the good auction results, totaling $ 481 million, signal a real return to normalcy and are also a signal that the art market has really returned to normal, said Christie's America president Bonnie Brennan.

Five works by the Spanish artist have passed the symbolic threshold of $ 100 million.
