    Salvador Dali is my favorite! His persistence of memory is my pick

    That is a close second, but for second place, The Endless Enigma would be my pick. I saved and saved until I was able to purchase a signed lithograph of The Endless Enigma. I really wanted the Persistence of Memories, but most I have seen start at $10k+.

    What tickles me is that people are stupid enough to buy the art for millions of dollars when anyone can have that artwork reproduced and enlarged for a few hundred dollars at the most. I know it is an investment and that they can brag to everyone the "own" a certain painting but it sure seems like a waste of money to me. We can also enjoy viewing any painting on line anytime anywhere for free.

    I certainly agree much art is overpriced to a ridiculous degree. However , you cannot say a reproduction is the same as the original. Go to the louvre and tell me different! I enjoy original art (putting a bunch of prints up on the walls looks like crap to me) but i cannot afford it so I create my own!

    To bad there aren't more museums to show the art to everyone so they can enjoy it as well as those who just buy it for themselves to have for profit taking later on as the price climbs.

    By everyone, I meant those who would enjoy viewing great works of art for free to see the paintings up close and personal.
