A French street artist's interpretation of the Mona Lisa made of 330 Rubik's Cubes sold for 480,200 euros on Sunday at a modern art auction in Paris, well above presale estimates of up to 150,000 euros. 
23日，一位法国街头艺术家用330块魔方组成的蒙娜丽莎画像在巴黎一场现代艺术拍卖会上，以48.02万欧元(约合人民币365万元)的价格拍出，远高于此前预估的15万欧元(约合人民币114万元)。

The 2005 artwork by anonymous street artist Invader uses the plastic puzzles' squares to create a mosaic of the Mona Lisa and her famous smile in garish colors. 
2005年，匿名街头艺术家"Invader"利用塑料拼图方块创作了一幅炫目的马赛克版蒙娜丽莎和她著名的微笑。

The sale coincided with the closure of a blockbuster Leonardo da Vinci exhibition at the nearby Louvre museum, the home of the real Mona Lisa. 
本次拍卖恰逢卢浮宫博物馆举行的大型达芬奇展览闭幕，卢浮宫博物馆是蒙娜丽莎真迹的馆藏地。

That show marked the 500th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance master.
卢浮宫博物馆为了纪念文艺复兴巨匠达芬奇逝世500周年举行了此次展览。
