10 Highest Paid Paintings 2021
While most paintings are one-of-a-kind, making it difficult to put a price on them, many works are sold and acquired virtually every day. While some artworks are inexpensive, others are much beyond the average person's means.

Ten:
Reclining Nude, also known as Nu couché, is one of Amedeo Modigliani's nude painting series, depicting a naked woman lying on a red sofa.
This piece was widely criticized for its obscene appearance, but it went on to become one of the most valuable paintings ever auctioned.
During a Christie's auction, Chinese billionaire couple Liu Yiqian and Wang Wei purchased it at $170.4 million for their private Museum in Shanghai.

Nine:
Les Femmes d' Alger ("Version 0"), created in 1955, is the final version of Pablo Picasso's Les Femmes d' Alger series. This version, created between 1954 and 1955, is often regarded as the best in the series. The artwork depicts a magnificent vista of Algerian mistresses wearing Harem pants and smoking hookahs.

Eight:
Rembrandt pendant portraits of Maerten Soolmans and Oopjen Coppit. This is Rembrandt's first full-length portrait. It's a high-end photograph of a newlywed couple. Maerten Soolmans and Oopjen Coppit's photographs were completed a year after their wedding and represented Dutch weddings. Rembrandt Van Rijn painted and completed the two remarkable works in 1634.

Seven:
Water Serpents II by Gustav Klimt.
It is an oil painting that was completed in 1907. It is the sequel to the older picture Water Serpents II. Water Serpents II, like its predecessor, explores the sensuality of women's bodies and same-sex relationships. The painting has a long and illustrious history.

Six:
Violet, Green, and Red.
This work by Russian-American expressionist Mark Rothko, painted in 1951, is well regarded for its effect on contemporary art. The title of this picture, 'Violet, Green, and Red,' is an accurate reflection of it. This picture exemplifies the adage, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder." The picture is only three colors: violet, green, and red with a hazy tinge.

Five:
Jackson Pollock’s 'Number 17A
This piece was created in 1948 and is now housed in a private residence. Unlike Pollock's drip painting series, this one has earned the distinction of being one of the highest-paid paintings. It's a drip painting made by splattering oil paint onto a horizontal surface on a fiberboard. The purchase was done as part of a deal with David Geffen and Kenneth, who also purchased the 'Interchange.'

Four:
Paul Gauguin's portrait painting titled Nafea Faa Ipoipo (When Will You Marry). It was founded in 1892 and is currently located in Qatar.
Gaugin's picture was inspired by his first trip to Tahiti and his interactions with the country's ladies. This piece features two Tahitian women dressed in traditional attire sitting next to one other on a green field.
This piece was purchased by the royal family of Qatar in 2015 at $210 million and is now on exhibit at the Foundation Beyeler in Riehen.
