He bids, she buys!

Jennifer Aniston was the winning buyer at Christie's glitzy "Artists for Haiti" auction in NYC on Thursday -- where beau Justin Theroux did the bidding on her behalf.

Actor-screenwriter Theroux, 40, helped his love, 42, snag American artist Glenn Ligon's "Stranger #44," an abstract 2011 work of oil, charcoal and graphite on canvas that seems to match his downtown hipster tastes.

At the auction, "Stranger #44" (pictured with artist Glenn Ligon and Thelma Golden, Director and Chief Curator of The Studio Museum in Harlem) was estimated at $150,000 to $200,000.

But Aniston helped shatter the record for sales of Ligon's work, spending a whopping $450,000 on the 72" by 60" painting, an Artists for Haiti rep confirms to Us.
