What is the most you have paid for a work of art ? $300 is the most I ever paid for a single tattoo.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: San Carlos, CA | | | $2400 for a painting from an artist who coincidentally happens to be tattooing a sleeve on me. We're taking a trip down to L.A. this weekend to attend a gallery reception for him and some other artists.

My honeymoon in Paris turned out to be an expensive art trip... but very rewarding.

But there was a guy I knew who used to be quite a fashionable photographer and silkscreen artist in the Warhol vein. He later fell on hard times and became a down and out bum. I once met him as he came into town on his bike with a load of large serigraph portraits he was going to sell for booze money. He offered me a matched pair for about $10. I bought those, had them framed, and they've been hanging side by side on my living room wall since.
