Explanation:

- Statement I: The statement says "the oil painting became the most expensive ever sold at auction" but it omits that it's by an Asian artist. It doesn't emphasize the Asian artist aspect, which doesn't directly support the original statement.

- Statement II: This statement asserts that the $65 million sale is the highest ever for any artist. It contradicts the original statement, which emphasizes it's the highest for an Asian artist, not any artist.

- Statement III: It supports the original statement by confirming Zao Wou-Ki sold the most expensive oil painting by an Asian artist.

- Option 3, Only I and II: Statements I and II do not fully support the original statement.
