Van Gogh brings up 30 million more than expected

Vincent van Gogh's 'Laboureur dans un champ' painting has been sold for $ 81.

Van Gogh painted the work during his stay in the psychiatric setting of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole in France, where the artist was treated from May 1889 to May 1890.

The auction amount is not a record for a Van Gogh painting. That is $ 82.5 million in the name of the painting 'Portrait du Dr. Gachet ', which changed from owner in 1990.
