On "Art" Trends...

"Edmond de Belamy, from La Famille de Belamy" is no ordinary piece of art. It's the first portrait generated by an algorithm to be sold by a major auction house.

And while Christie's expected the A.I.-created portrait to fetch $7,000 to $10,000, on Thursday it sold for $432,500 — over 40 times the initial estimate — to an anonymous bidder.
