Default I like Fine Art too, But....

http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/entertai...rket-1.4405850

Pre auction estimate on this was $100M USD, already a ludicrous price....but to sell for $400USD, plus premium bringing it to $450M...?!


Just wow. A few million here and there, and pretty soon you're talking real money!

Lots of debate and contention about it for sure, that it was done by his student(s), not Davinci himself. Also, it was badly damaged (wood was cracked and split), and repaired and restored extensively.

Insane money either way. Would buy a lot of velvet Elvis and Jesus paintings. And the dogs playing poker.
