everytime you spread your bed in the morning you are just throwing millions of shillings down the drain.
Tracey Emin's controversial My Bed modern artwork has sold at auction for £2.2 million.
according to BBC:
The 1998 work, which features an unmade bed and a littered floor including empty vodka bottles, cigarette butts and discarded condoms, went under the hammer at Christie's in London tonight.
The 1999 Turner Prize shortlisted work had been put up for sale by millionaire art collector Charles Saatchi, with a guide price of between £800,000 and £1.2 million.
Emin was in the packed auction room as the work was sold, to applause from the crowd.
Saatchi, who paid £150,000 in 2000 for My Bed, one of the key works of the Young British Artist movement, sold it to support the work of the Saatchi Gallery Foundation.
Christies said that with buyer's premium My Bed went for £2,546,500, which is a world record for the Margate artist at auction.
Christie's said My Bed was bought by an anonymous bidder.
