“‘Apocalypse Now,’ a 1988 painting by Marfa and New York artist Christopher Wool, sold for $26.5 million at a Christie’s auction house post-war and contemporary art sale Tuesday evening in New York. New York art dealer Christophe van de Weghe bought the work on behalf of a client, according to reports. The seller is reported to be a former member of the Guggenheim Museum’s board of directors who pulled the work from a current exhibit of Wool’s art at the iconic Frank Lloyd Wright-designed museum.”
