With art, it is possible to be economical - especially in the current climate. For instance, the most expensive painting ever sold was No. 5, by Jackson Pollock. In 2006, David Martinez bought the painting in a private sale for the paltry sum of $140 million. Adjusting for inflation, that figure is now closer to $148.1 million.
Although the 8' x 4' piece of art gave Martinez plenty of picture for the price, if he had applied himself he could have used the money, in a literal sense, to create his very own works of art, as these artists have done.
