Based on this incredible bid/sale, has Leo (or the consultant rep'ing him) a few Murillo's already and just making an exorbitant bid to call more attention to this artist? Or demand a higher price for works already owned? Just seems a bit ridiculous.
*added: owned

I was wondering the same thing, if Leo was over bidding as he has a few pieces or possibly a friend directing attention to the artist first major UK show at the SLGallery. Which ever way you look at it looks a little odd especially as the piece in question is not that strong compared with his regular work,

Which ever way you look at it looks a little odd especially as the piece in question is not that strong compared with his regular work, Shame the article doesn't say who he was bidding against! That would almost certainly provide the answer.
Influential people in the contemporary art field have likened him to a young JMB... which implies they think he can go still higher yet.
There is another piece coming up for auction soon right?
Anyway, I met Oscar in person only recently, and he has a dynamism that I have not witnessed in any artist to date.
Only time will tell. Mere mortals like myself will never know what really is happening in this bubble that the high end contemporary art market most certainly is!

Phillips Art Auctions • New York, Hong Kong & London, by Damien on Sept 25, 2013 16:49:50 GMT 1, This work is from an edition of 3 plus 2 artist's proofs I like the fact that this material is very familiar, it has a democratic relationship to people but they don't know it in this context. ADAM MCEWEN, 2012 Adam McEwen is one of the most dynamic and energetic artists to emerge in the last ten years. His voluminous appetite for—and regurgitation of—the tropes of everyday life make him an apt inheritor of the rich legacy of artists such as Richard Prince, Claes Oldenburg and ultimately Duchamp. McEwen disrupts our understanding of popular culture and objects by recycling, re-imagining, and re-creating existing images and commercial objects as something unmistakably new. Across a variety of media McEwen’s true materials are his viewers—our own—preconceived notions about culture, history and images. This exploration finds its most iconoclastic form in his laser cut graphite sculptures. By mining readymade replicas of everyday objects from graphite blocks the artist strips away functionality, leaving these products as naked, purely suggestive referents. In the present lot, Step Stool (Rubbermaid), 2010, McEwen attacks the core functions the iconic and banal Rubbermaid step stool, amputating its ability to provide ascendancy and support. Although McEwen’s step stool has the appearance of stability the fact remains; this is a work of graphite, a friable usually mark-making material, always at risk of granulation. “You could erase all of these sculptures. You could pick the sculpture up, draw on the wall with it and rub it out. And eventually you would have nothing left.” (Adam McEwen in S. Becker, “Q&A: Adam McEwen,” Art & Seek, April 16, 2012

It reads like The Lord of the Rings. It took me three attempts to get through it. Ultimately, doesn't mean much. Car made of chocolate. I'm amputating the car's ability to drive the kids to school. Leave it out in the sun. Car melts. Children are sad. Represents diminishing world resources, the dominance of nature over technology, and the consequences of humankind's reliance on stuff, while simultaneously demonstrating that solar power will ultimately conquer over fossil fuels and chocolate.
Spare words: Preconceived, duality, question, inviting the viewer, notion, juxtaposition, and some other words.
