 Who Is the Painting Artist That Painted The Highest Price Paid For An Original Art Painting At Auction?

  Most people would assume it must be one of the most famous Artist's such as Vincent van Gogh or maybe Pablo Picasso? Or perhaps Adel Bloch-Bauer Klimt who had one of his paintings sold for $135 Million just a few years ago?

 The highest paid for a single piece of Art Work was painted by Artist Jackson Pollock in 1948 and Sold for a Record $140 Million less the 60 years later. Pollock's most famous art painting's were painted in whats known as the "drip period" which He abruptly ended his drip painting style in 1950. Jackson Pollock is one of the few Famous Painting Artist's that has topped the $100 Million Dollar Mark for a single painting.

 What is the Most

Famous Painting In The World?

 Arguably this honor would have to go to The Mona Lisa, is a 16th century oil painted portrait by Leonardo da Vinci during the Italian Renaissance. 

   The Original Mona Lisa is now in the hands of the Government of France. This painting has become so popular over the past centuries that it was insured in 1962 for a $100 Million at that time. Considering inflation, this painting would be insured for nearly 3/4 of a Billion Dollars in today's dollars. The Mona Lisa is without a doubt, a France National Treasure and barring France going bankrupt, this painting will never see the likes of Sotheby's or Christies Auction House anytime in the near  future.
