World Record for Most Money Spent on a Piece of Art by a Man

This is a list of the highest known prices paid for paintings. The current tape cost is approximately US$450.3 million (which includes commission) paid for Leonardo da Vinci's Salvator Mundi in Nov 2017.^{[ane] [2]}

Background [edit]

The nigh famous paintings, especially old chief works done before 1803, are by and large owned or held at museums, for viewing by patrons. Since the museums rarely sell them, they are considered priceless. Guinness Earth Records lists Leonardo da Vinci'south Mona Lisa as having the highest ever insurance value for a painting. On permanent display at the Louvre in Paris, the Mona Lisa was assessed at US$100 million on Dec fourteen, 1962. Taking inflation into business relationship, the 1962 value would exist around US$900 million in 2021.^[3]

The earliest auction on the list below (Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh) is from March 1987; with a toll of £24.75 million (£71.2 million in 2021 currency). This sale tripled the previous tape, and introduced a new era in top art sales. Before this, the highest absolute price paid for a painting was £8.ane million (£20.four 1000000 in 2021 currency) paid by the J. Paul Getty Museum for Andrea Mantegna'south Admiration of the Magi at Christie's in London on Apr 18, 1985.^[four] In constant dollars, the highest price paid before 1987 was past the National Gallery of Art when in February 1967 they acquired Leonardo da Vinci's Ginevra de' Benci for effectually $5 meg ($41 one thousand thousand in 2021 dollars) from the Princely Family of Liechtenstein. The auction of Van Gogh'south Sunflowers was the first fourth dimension a "mod" (in this instance 1888) painting became the record holder, as opposed to the old chief paintings which previously had dominated the market. In contrast, at that place are currently only nine pre-1875 paintings amongst the listed top 89, and none created between 1635 and 1874.

An infrequent example is graffiti artist David Choe, who accepted payment in shares for painting graffiti fine art in the headquarters of a fledgling Facebook. His shares were of express value when he was given them, but by the time of Facebook'due south IPO they were valued at around $200 million.^[5]

The list is incomplete with respect to sales between private parties, as these are not always reported and, even if they are, details similar the purchase toll may remain secret. For example, on June 25, 2019, the American hedge fund managing director J. Tomilson Colina bought a recently rediscovered Judith and Holofernes (1607) attributed to Caravaggio, two days before information technology would have been auctioned in Toulouse.^[half-dozen] Though the Louvre Museum had turned down the opportunity to purchase information technology for €100 meg,^[7] the painting was estimated to sell for $110 to $170 million.^[viii] The actual purchase price was not disclosed, because of a confidentiality agreement attached to the private sale.^{[half dozen]}

Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, and Andy Warhol are the best-represented artists in the list. Whereas Picasso and Warhol became wealthy men, Van Gogh is known to have sold only 1 painting in his lifetime, The Ruddy Vineyard, for 400 francs (approximately $2,000 in 2018 dollars) in 1890, to the impressionist painter and heiress Anna Boch.^{[9] [ten]} Prices realised for just his nine paintings listed below, when adjusted for inflation to 2017, add upwards to over US$900 one thousand thousand.

Georgia O'Keeffe holds the record for the highest price paid for a painting by a woman. On Nov twenty, 2014 at Sotheby's, the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art bought her 1932 painting Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 for United states$44.4 1000000 (equivalent to United states of america$50.viii million in 2021).^{[11] [12]}

Amongst the listed top 89, only half dozen are paintings by non-Western artists. Five are traditional Chinese paintings by Qi Baishi, Wu Bin, Wang Meng and Xu Yang. In particular, Qi Baishi's Twelve Landscape Screens was sold for $140.8 1000000 in 2017. While the only non-Western modern artwork listed is that of the Chinese-French painter Zao Wouki's oil painting Juin-Octobre 1985, which was sold for $65 meg in 2018.^[xiii] Not listed here in this list is Chinese painter Wang Shaofei's The High Sun, which was appraised for $74 million in 2017.^[14]
