Again, Vincent van Gogh graces our list with one of the most expensive works of art of all time.

While some designers take on this task themselves, many enlist the assistance of an art consultant. One limitation of this approach is the consultants limited universe of artists. Most art consultants end up with a few go-to favorites.
Woman III by Willem de Kooning - $140.2 Million:Painted in 1953 by the abstract expressionist painter Willem de Kooning this fantastic piece is one of 6 paintings by Kooning in which the central theme was a woman.

This work of art was sold by David Geffen in 2006 for $140 Million making it the most valuable piece of art ever sold.
