A fact from My Lonesome Cowboy appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 October 2020 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that My Lonesome Cowboy, a sculpture created by artist Takashi Murakami as a companion to his earlier Hiropon, sold at auction for USD$15.1 million – nearly four times the amount at which it had been valued?

ALT2:... that My Lonesome Cowboy and Hiropon, sculptures by Takashi Murakami depicting nude anime figures respectively expelling semen and breast milk, were created during the artist's "bodily fluids" phase? Source: 3
Articles are long enough and don't get any hits on the copyvio detector that aren't properly quoted/cited material. I prefer the wording of ALT1, but I am not 100% sure that the citation fully supports the claim that is made. It's probably true, of course, but it seems more inferred from the content of the page then directly stated. Citations for the main hook and ALT2 are fine.
