This is the world's most expensive piece of art

A painting of two Tahitian women by Paul Gauguin has sold for a reported $300m (nearly £200m), smashing the record price for a single piece of art.

The identity of the buyer was not revealed but speculation was rife that the masterpiece will follow the previous record-holder, a Cezanne that sold for $250m (about £165m) in 2011, to Qatar.
