The colour purple...is not one you should use in a painting

Our chart of the day is actually a picture. And not just any picture. It is the painting called “Orange, Red, Yellow” by Mark Rothko. This 1961 painting was sold in a 2012 auction at Christie’s for $86.9m – a record price for post-war contemporary art at that time. Since then, prices for abstract art have gone even higher but what makes this painting special was the shock it created in the art world after it was expected to fetch a mere $45m. In the end, three bidders got caught up in the bidding for more than six minutes – one of the longest bidding wars ever recorded at an auction.
