Editing Amedeo Modigliani (section)

===Art market===
In November 2010, a painting of a nude by Amedeo Modigliani, part of a series of nudes he created around 1917, sold for more than $68.9m (£42.7m) at an auction in New York—a record for the artist's work. Bidding for ''La Belle Romaine'' pushed its price well past its $40m (£24.8m) estimate. Modigliani's previous auction record was 43.2m euros (£35.8m), set earlier in 2010 in Paris. Another painting by the artist—[[Jeanne Hébuterne]] (au chapeau), one of the first portraits he painted of his lover—sold for $19.1m (£11.8m), much higher than its pre-sale estimate of $9–12m (£5.6–7.4m).<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11682850 | work=BBC News | title=Modigliani nude sells for a record $68.9m | date=3 November 2010}}</ref>
