Art catches the soul, eye and wallet. World-class paintings attract connoisseurs, collectors and representatives of creative professions from all over the world so much that some of them are ready to pay fabulous sums for famous art objects. What is the price of art?<\/p>\n

“Diego and Me” Frida Kahlo<\/h2>\n

One of the examples of expensive works is a self-portrait, which was written by the famous artist Frida Kahlo. The work was created in honor of the romantic<\/a> feelings of two inspired artists. Some time later, the painting was valued at almost $40 million, for which it was purchased at an auction in the fall of 2021. Now it is the highest priced work among all auctions in the world.<\/p>\n

“Savior of the World” by Leonardo da Vinci<\/h2>\n

In the late 50s of the last century, this painting received a low payment – no more than $ 60, due to the fact that the image was considered a copy. But many years passed, and the painting, which was in a collection with two dozen like it, was sold for no less than $ 450 million using the Christie’s auction! It is also interesting that its authenticity is still in question, but the price continues to grow relentlessly.<\/p>\n
