The most expensive paintings in the world are usually housed in the galleries and museums of Europe and the United States. These paintings are so valuable that art enthusiasts are willing to spend millions when they get auctioned off. More often than not, the value of a painting depends on its age and the artist behind it. Some paintings may look too ordinary for the eyes but cost millions just because they are painted by world-renowned artists like Vincent Van Gogh or Pablo Picasso. Here is a list of the 25 most ridiculously expensive arts and paintings in history:

Unfucking believable
But the sad fact is that Artists create the paintings but someone else sell them and earn money. Nothing really goes to the Artists' pocket except some fame
1:47…and what about showing a photo of the REAL painting by Van Gogh. 'Cause he didn't paint that mediocre imitation shown in the photo. That's not his work.
where is salvator mundi
they overpaid
There are too many super rich retards out there. Some of these you can see the talent, others are garbage. Jackson Pollock had zero talent and was known as the dripper. He held cans of paint and dripped it all over the canvas. A monkey could do it. Honestly all the money wasted on many of these pieces of crap could probably feed, clothe, and provide shelter for all the homeless in this country. And fyi I know more about art history than most.
7:36 is really nice
The fact someone paid that much for #20 seriously pisses me off
Good
Do the same for bits of rock dug out the earth.
Do the same type of video for second hand cars.
Jean Michel Basquiat. The most expensive painting sold by an American artist. $119.5 million.
None of these are a reflection in art. They show how highly competitive mega wealthy capitalist are willing to go to any lengths, no expense spared, to out do each other. These become investments. The Saudi's are buying up art to create a world class art museum.
Some of the info. provided is inaccurate (saying only one Van Gogh self-portrait survived??? There are over 30 of them) and the narrator's fumbling mispronunciation of French names and words is pretty bad. I mean, it's not that he needs to have a mastery or even basic knowledge of the language to say the words with a little more accuracy, it's like he has never heard the correct pronunciation before and is just guessing. The video is not very informative (and could have been done in a much more interesting way) and even the sound of the narration is just dull.
Soon or later there will be a blank sheet for $1billion.😂😂
20 is masterpiece 😂
Suprisingly you correctly pronounce some very difficult names/words and then say gar-kon for an elementary French gar-sohn (boy) and other whoppers. Schizophrenic or careless?
Don't hate the player. Hate the game. Playas gonna hustle.
where is Starry starry Night?
Neanderthal art critics can just Fuck right off!
Jason Pollock?
I just like the "water lily pond" printing
shame on those people who buy this paintings at such a high cost
instead by this money they can do something better for needy people
It's a utter shame God will never forgive them….
Jackson Pollock**

his last name wasn't Gogh, it was Van Gogh. Joan Whitney Payson has the only Payson Art Gallery here in Portland Maine and I had a piece of artwork on display years ago at the same Museum. it was really neat to be featured in a real Museum. 🙂
Hi thank you so much for sharing this on YouTube channel very helpful
i understand why some people would buy van ghoh and Picasso paintings but why the fucking squares shit that shit is like a joke i feel sorry that im arab and qatar person bought it such a shame.
people dont understand art..uhgs
check out these prices!: https://www.saatchiart.com/account/artworks/84605
I'd like to be able to see the whole paintings.
Why?
I think someone who is making a video about 'facts' should at least research the facts beforehand. Really, JASON Pollock? And you could not have researched a bit more those artists names and works of art names you keep butchering? ugh..
Number 1 = Mona Lisa
I went to the exhibition of Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" in Tokyo when a Japanese insurance company bought it for 40 million dollars in 1987. The company built a small museum around the famous painting but, since there was only one piece to show, they filled the empty walls with dozens of photographs of sunflowers from various countries. It was the weirdest art show I had ever been. lol
So your telling me, if i sneezed paint over a canvas, then someone would pay $100m+ for it. Well, im off to work!
at least 2:58 was a good pick in colors nice pic. but anything over 38$ '-
—' 42.83 including tax. It will not be hanging on my wall. the irises pic is pretty too.Why. Just why.
# 20 is absurd. Where's the talent?
i am nothing
all these cunts who buy this rubbish should be ashamed of themselves they could be givinf that money to the poor and starving SMFH
Cultural Marxism
just so you know the picture you use of Adele Bloch-Bauer I is NOT done by Gustav Klimt, it is a copy(and a very poor one at that).
number 1 looks like it was painted by a fucking idiot
how is it that the Mona Lisa isnt on this list??
"Massacre of the Innocents" was a vast difference in technical ability etc….depth, contrast and conception…and also….FUCK Jackson Pollock.
