Question:

Whate the name of the most expensive painting ..ever sold..?

I love art and was wondering the name of the most expensive painting in the world and has it been sold..?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The most expensive painting ever is DaVinci's Mona Lisa. Mona Lisa is owned by the French government and hangs in the Mus㩥 du Louvre in Paris so it couldn??t be offered in auction. But it has the highest insurance value for a painting in history, $100 million on December 14, 1962, before the painting toured the U.S. for several months. Taking inflation into the account it would be approximately $670 million in 2007!
The most expensive painting ever sold at auction was "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I" by Gustav Klimt. This painting was sold to Ronald Lauder for his Neue Galerie in New York City for $135 million in June 2006 at auction in Christie's, New York. Of course that was in 2006, and as i now see, the most expensive painting ever sold is No 5, by Jackson Pollock. Went for $140 million.
