Wow! The world's most expensive artwork is now an oil painting by Paul Gauguin .It was sold for a whooping  £200 MILLION.

The 1982 painting of two Tahitian girls by the French artist is titled, Nafea Faa Ipoipo, or When Will You Marry? It was reportedly bought by a museum in the oil rich Arab nation, Qatar

      All i know is tht my neighbor would just paint rubbish mix different colors on an old wood, sell it to tourists and after that he wont have to work for the whole year, and then start drinking as if there's no tomorrow.
