Alberto Giacometti's 1965 bronze "L'homme qui marche I" (Walking Man I) fetched a record for a work of art at auction on Feb. 3 in London, selling for 65 million pounds ($104.3 million) at Sotheby's.
 
The price, including buyer's premium, eclipsed Picasso's "Boy with a Pipe (The Young Apprentice)", which sold for $104.2 million six years ago. The life-sized Giacometti was the first of its kind on the block for two decades. The buyer was not identified.
 
Dresdner Bank -- now part of Commerzbank -- bought the sculpture in 1980. The work was commissioned by architect Gordon Bunshaft for Chase Manhattan Plaza in New York, though it was never installed.
