February 7th, 2015: Nafea Faa Ipoipo
Nafea Faa Ipoipo (When Will You Marry?), is a double portrait of two young women painted in 1892 Tahiti.
Oh, by the way, it happens to be the most expensive painting... ever.
|
A colorful painting of two Tahitian women by Paul Gauguin has reportedly been sold by a Swiss family foundation to a group of state museums in Qatar for nearly $300 million, a record sum for a single work of art. The price would best the roughly $250 million that Qatar paid three years ago for Paul Cezanne’s “The Card Players,” and underscores the purchasing power and ambitions of the nation. |
He died a pauper, supported by a French art dealer and painting up a storm to the end. heh $300,000,000.00

Here's how you can own that painting, and have change left over.

Don't bet on it (snicker), I think it means more than money to Qatar.
