Most expensive paintings ever sold — the full ranked list
The complete ranking of most expensive paintings ever sold, in order, with what the ranking counts and how firm the figures behind it are. Free reference, no sign-up — and the guessing game that plays the same list.
Reported sale prices, auctions and private sales together. Number one sold for $450 million and half the art world still argues about who painted it.
The figures behind this ranking move over time, so the order is right for now rather than fixed.
