Well, this record was annihilated today by a da Vinci:

To clarify this, and to fill in the gap, here are the most expensive artworks sold to date (over $200 million in actual (not inflation-adjusted) dollars) - all or which were private sales except for "Salvator Mundi," which was sold via Christie's Auction House.

Nov 15, 2017 - $450.3M - "Salvator Mundi" (Leonardo da Vinci)
Sep, 2015        - $300.0M - "Interchange" (Willem de Kooning)
Apr, 2011         - $250.0M - "The Card Players" (Paul Cézanne) - Private Sale
Sep, 2014        - $210.0M - "When Will You Marry?" (Paul Gaugin)

There's a chart on Wikipedia here - it's a bit confusing, but certainly more comprehensive and informative than this.
