A self-portrait by Frida Kahlo that had been held in a private collection for 30 years has been sold for a record-setting US$34.9 million (including fees) at Sotheby's in New York. The painting, Diego y yo (1949) depicts the artist gazing tearfully at the viewer; superimposed on her forehead is an image of her husband, the muralist Diego Rivera, who himself has a third eye.
