The ART Game

Driving into work this morning, I saw gas was $4.19 a gallon at a gas station.  This is where we are heading - but while we’re heading there, let’s look at some pricey art!

Some of these pieces sold recently at auction (mostly Sotheby’s).  Can you match the art work with the price tag? 
(Answers will be posted in the comment section)
