Huge bids smash modern art record

"I know all about art, but I don't know what I like."
These record breaking paintings make me shiver. They leave me completely cold. Are auctions running out of great paintings?

Huge bids smash modern art record
Mark Rothko's White Center (Yellow, Pink and Lavender on Rose)
.
The auction record for post-war art has been smashed twice in one night.
.
Francis Bacon's portrait Study from Innocent X fetched $52.6m (£26.5m) at Sotheby's in New York - almost double the previous high for a Bacon work.
.
That was followed by a price of $72.8m (£36.7m) for US abstract artist Mark Rothko's 1950 work White Center (Yellow, Pink and Lavender on Rose).
