Amedeo Modigliani’s series of paintings of reclining nude women have sold for millions of dollars only after the artist’s death in 1920. His Nu Couché (Reclining Nude) (1917-1918) was sold for $170,405,000 million in 2015 at the Christies. It was bought by Liu Yiqian and became part of a private collection. This painting has been one of the most paid-for paintings.
