Last February this painting was sold at a Sotheby's auction in London for £5.7 million (8,7 € million, $10 million). Peter Doig speaks about his views on this peculiar incident in this article from The Guardian newspaper. His comments on this matter start by the very curious declaration 'It made me feel sick, really".

Yes I can kind of understand - its odd the amount of money one will pay for some paint on a canvas or a pice of porcelain or a piece of sparkly rock.
