This article is about the most expensive ever sold. The highest value is perhaps the Mona Lisa (over 600mi). There's no Rembrandt on the list. I know there aren't many sold lately. The Nightwatch will beat the Mona Lisa, looking at insurance value. And what about the brothers van Eijck, Vermeer, Botticelli and the paintings on the walls and ceiling of Capella Sistina, by Michelangelo Buonarroti? The value of a painting is what a fool is willing to pay.

I've worked in the LA county museum of art and also studied art.
Its a shame that none of Dali, Monet or Boudins paintings are amongst the top 15.
As far as the price goes its a bit outrageous, however some ones trash its another mens treasure.

Ha brilliant all this discussion. That's art for you no one person looks at it in exactly the same way, but that's fine. After all it is only art!

It is no denying the fact that these are artists own expressions. Is this real art or brand syndrome. If these are the most expensive paintings then you will find at least few hundred original masterpieces with much sense in it. The entire money on this earth will not be sufficient to buy may be just few of them.May be I have no sense of art. I will be personally obliged if some one could clear this dark cloud from my mind. These are no excellere in real sense.

the mona lisa isn't listed because it was bought prior… when currency wasn't as high. these aren't the value but what people paid for them, the times reflect that. anyone who bases their personal value on art based on what it was bought is a moron.

Well, (without wanting too sound arrogant!?!) I can probably draw better then most people who will read this post. As an artist -in the traditional sense of the word- I find it very hard to find the appeal of Pollock's art (-I use the word 'art' in the loosest sense of the term) -it is nothing more, and nothing less then a mass of squiggles -free to be interpreted as the viewer sees fit (in my experience the more pretentious and arrogant the individual, the more this particular form of human expression 'appeals' to them).

Someone has stated in a previous post that they would give anyone who could produce a similar piece $140 million. I would very much like to take you up on your offer, granted it may take six months, or even a year -but it could be done (-without too much difficulty I hasten to add….).

Ask me to reproduce a Turner on the other hand… well you could give me a lifetime, and all the money in the world as a reward -and I still wouldn't be able to come even close!

-just the thoughts of a random artist…..
