Did You Know?
The most expensive painting that ever sold in the history of art is Jackson Pollock's "No. 5, 1948". It sold in a private sale in 2006 for a staggering 140 million dollars, exceeding the sale of Gustav Klimt's 1907 "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I" by around 5 million dollars. Although Pollock enjoyed recognition during his life, he never made much money with his art. And, recognition doesn’t put food on the table.
