This would APPEAR to be an effort to make this stuff Worth More to collectors than it really is, should you look at it as 'art'.
My bet is that not a Nickel actually changed hands and the 'bidder' was a shill for the owner of the auction.
If I bid something UP to the sky, than somebody takes note and wants it, too, since some of these collectors have more money than brains. Price rises accordingly.
Real Surprise is when you take your 6000$ painting to a REAL auction house and find out the appraiser will give you 20$ for the Frame it came in.
I think the phrase here is 'Market Manipulation'
Too much is never enough
