>> reporter: but when you see this kind of human-horse connection -- >> the horse picks me. >> reporter: it doesn't really seem the money matters at all. >> i just think it's about finding him a home, and i feel like i'm helping. here's a question for you. what looks like a silver bunny balloon animal and just sold for $91 million? anthony mason has the answer. >> here it is. $80 million. gentleman has it here. at $80 million. you have it, sir. $80 million. >> reporter: art history made in new york city. jeff coons 1986 sculpture "rabbit" breaking the record for the most expensive work sold at auction by a living artist. art dealer robert mnuchin made the winning bid at christie's. the final price, $91 million. >> when it was first shown in

>> reporter: in a nearby tiny town, the hazelnut is celebrated, and so is giuseppe.
