The boy in the painting was among the community of entertainers living in the Montmartre section of Paris, many of which were the subjects of Picasso’s red period.* Artist: Pablo Picasso* Year: 1905* Year of Sale: 2004* Sale Price: $104.2 million#5 Bal au moulin de la Galette, Montmartre<img src="http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq357/R_Wad/bal-au-moulin-de-la-galette-montmar.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Renoir’s sole entry in the top 15 most expensive paintings is his work Bal au moulin de la Galette. This painting was sold in 1990 to Ryoei Saito, the chairman of a Japanese paper company and a collector of fine art.* Artist: Pierre-Auguste Renoir* Year: 1876* Year of Sale: 1990* Sale Price: $78.1 million#4 Portrait of Dr. Gachet<img src="http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq357/R_Wad/portrait-of-dr-gauchet-vincent-van-.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />This and the last painting were at one point the two most expensive paintings in the world, sold together to Ryoei Saito in 1990. This would become Van Gogh’s most expensive painting to date, selling for an impressive $82.5 million ($136.1 million today).* Artist: Vincent Van Gogh* Year: 1890* Year of Sale: 1990* Sale Price: $82.5 million#3 Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer<img src="http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq357/R_Wad/portrait-of-adele-bloch-bauer-by-gu.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Once the world’s most expensive painting, Gustav Klimt’s portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer took three years to create in oil and gold. The painting was commissioned by a Swiss sugar magnate, a fan of Klimt and the husband of the painting’s subject.* Artist: Gustav Klimt* Year: 1907* Year of Sale: 2006* Sale Price: $135 million#2 Woman III<img src="http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq357/R_Wad/woman-iii-willem-de-kooning-137poin.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />This, the second most-expensive painting in the world was among the collection sold by David Geffen in 2006. Woman III by Willem de Kooning was among six painted by the artist between 1951 and 1953, with this version ending up at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art– where it would be later hid from the public due to its inadherence to the government’s rules of morality.* Artist: Willem de Kooning* Year: 1953* Year of Sale: 2006* Sale Price: $137.5 million#1 No. 5, 1948<img src="http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq357/R_Wad/nov-fifth-1948-by-jackson-pollock-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Jackson Pollock’s 1948 painting entitled No. 5 1948 was arguably his greatest masterwork, the most vivid expression of the painter’s unique style. When it was sold by David Geffen in 2006, it became the world’s most expensive painting in history at a price-adjusted $149.70 million dollars.* Artist: Jackson Pollock* Year: 1948* Year of Sale: 2006* Sale Price: $140 million</blockquote>
