Miró's "Painting-Poem" Breaks Record at Christie's

According to this article from Gallerist:

Joan Miró’s Painting-Poem set a new artist record at Christie’s Impressionist & Modern sale in London Tuesday. The hammer price plus buyer’s premium was £16.6 million, or $26.6 million.

The painting is from 1925 and contains the words: “le corps de ma brune puisque je l’aime comme ma chatte habillée en vert salade comme de la grêle c’est pareil,” etched over an ash and sand-colored backdrop filled with abstract shapes.

Yowza!

And for those of you who have yet to master the French language, Google Translator renders the above as: "the body of my brown because I love him like my cat dressed green salad like hail they stay the same." Thanks?
