Russian artist Kazimir Malevich is generating big bucks from beyond the grave after his “Suprematist Composition” sold for a cool $85.8 at Christie’s Auctioneers in the Big Apple. In the process, the work becomes the most expensive Russian painting of all time.

Created in 1916, it previously sold for $60 million in 2008 at Sotheby’s. Not bad.
