Father of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin Buys $91 Million Sculpture
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The father of U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has completed the
most expensive purchase of a living artist's work in U.S. history.
Robert Mnuchin purchased Jeff Koons's three-foot-tall metallic sculpture
titled "Rabbit" with an $80-million bid Wednesday, though he paid over
$91 million after Christie's auction house fees and taxes were added in.
