Why is the van gogh sunflower painting worth so much?
I don’t know why this painting is worth as much as it is, but, the fact is, that, – as far as I know, anyway, – the mysterious person, who currently, OWNS it, doesn’t want to SELL it, – so, – at least, for NOW, – it isn’t WORTH ANYTHING! It is, – like ALL things, – ONLY valuable, if someone wants to SELL IT, – or BUY IT!
I don’t know why Van Gogh’s sunflower painting is worth as much as it is because when he painted them (and I believe he painted more than one sunflower painting), the sunflower was a “peasant’s” flower – as common as a dandelion and not really worth much at all! It’s like anything though – supply and demand – and what anyone is prepared to pay at the time!
