list of most expensive paintings
This is a list of the highest known prices paid for paintings. The earliest sale on the list (''Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers'' by Vincent van Gogh) is from 1987, and more than tripled the previous record price, set only two years before, introducing a new era in top picture prices. The sale was also significant in that for the first time a "modern" painting (in this case from 1888) became the record holder, as opposed to the old master paintings which had always previously held it. Since that time sales of the most valuable paintings have usually been made at auctions, though that had by no means always been the case before, and the list below still shows some "private sales", including the five most expensive. The current record price was paid for ''When Will You Marry?'' by Paul Gauguin, which was sold for $300 million in 2015.
==Background==
The world's most famous paintings, especially old master works done before 1803, are generally owned or held at museums, for viewing by patrons. The museums very rarely sell them, and as such, they are quite literally priceless. ''Guinness World Records'' lists the ''Mona Lisa'' as having the highest insurance value for a painting in history. On permanent display at The Louvre museum in Paris, the ''Mona Lisa'' was assessed at US$100 million on December 14, 1962. Taking inflation into account, the 1962 value would be around US$ million in .〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.eh.net/hmit/compare/ )〕
The earliest sale on the list below (''Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers'' by Vincent van Gogh) is from March 1987; with a price of £24.75 million ($ million in current dollars) it tripled the previous record and introduced a new era in top art sales. Before this, the highest absolute price paid for a painting was £8.1 million ($ million in current dollars) paid by the J. Paul Getty Museum for Mantegna's ''Adoration of the Magi'' at Christie's in London on April 18, 1985.〔William Wilson, (Getty Pays $10.5 Million For Painting ), New York Times, April 19, 1985〕 In constant dollars, the highest price paid before 1987 was by the National Gallery of Art when in February 1967 they acquired Leonardo da Vinci's ''Ginevra de' Benci'' for around $5 million ($ million in current dollars) from the Princely Family of Liechtenstein. The sale of Van Gogh's ''Sunflowers'' was also significant in that for the first time a "modern" (in this case 1888) painting became the record holder, as opposed to the old master paintings which previously had dominated the market. In contrast, there are currently only seven pre-1850 paintings among the top 48 listed.
An exceptional case is graffiti artist David Choe, who accepted payment in shares for painting graffiti art in the headquarters of a fledgling Facebook. While his shares were of limited value when he was awarded them, by the time of Facebook's IPO they were valued at around $200m.〔Nick Bilton, "(For Founders to Decorators, Facebook Riches )," ''The New York Times'', 1/1/12.〕
