A 1999 painting of the DVP's iconic rainbow-painted tunnel has brought in almost its projected price at a London, UK auction. Bidding on "Country-rock (wing-mirror)", by Scottish artist Peter Doig, was expected to reach over $16,000,000 (CAD); when the hammer came down, the winning bid was £8,482,500, or just under $15,500,000. Obviously the buyer already found a pot of gold. [Artlyst]
