A work by Jackson Pollock has become the most expensive painting sold, at a price of about $140m (£73m).
Unnamed art experts said that US media magnate David Geffen had sold the 4ft by 8ft work, No 5, 1948, to Mexican financier David Martinez.
The reported price exceeds the $135m (£71m) paid in June for a 1907 portrait by Austrian artist Gustav Klimt.
The Pollock work features the US artist's famous drip-and-pour style.
