World's most expensive paintings--

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_paintings It may be because very few well known paintings come on the market. But I don't like the supposed Leonardo da Vinci, looks overworked/restored and "lifeless" to me. Some of the Qi Baishi fakes are not Qi Baishi, you can tell, while the brilliant ones are his. Sigh. 6-18-2018
