450 Million Dollars For Art
I guess, anyone has heard of the following story:
"Leonardo’s Salvator Mundi makes auction history - The rediscovered masterpiece by the Renaissance master sells for an historic $450,312,500, obliterating the previous world record for the most expensive work of art at auction. Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Sale totals $785,942,250..." - see the whole story here: http://www.christies.com/features/Leonardo-and-Post-War-results-New-York-8729-1.aspx?sc_lang=en
My most expensive artwork (original painting) is on sale for $ 5000 - see it here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/new-york-wall-street-fine-art-art-america-gallery-peter-potter.html - of course my name is not Leonardo da Vinci...
What is your opinion about this and similar art prices - how should art be validated ?
