Sold with auction houses or private agreements, the paintings are by far the highest rated art products, a type of investment that often proved extremely profitable.
It has always been involved huge amounts when it comes about the transaction of the famous and spectacular paintings, but the market has exploded in the past decade. An example is the famous Edvard Munch’s masterpiece “The Scream” which was sold in 2012 at Sotheby’s in New York with 119.9 million dollars, an absolute record for an art auction. However, the Norwegian painting occupies only the fifth place among the best sold pictures.
