在世界藝術(shù)品拍賣場(chǎng)上，繪畫作品的天價(jià)紀(jì)錄被不斷刷新。截至2006年底，單幅油畫超過8000萬美元的已有五幅。

一、《加歇醫(yī)生像》

1990年5月15日，荷蘭畫家凡高的《加歇醫(yī)生像》在3分鐘內(nèi)即以8250萬美元的天價(jià)被日本第二大造紙商齋藤拍走，創(chuàng)下了當(dāng)時(shí)藝術(shù)品拍賣價(jià)格的世界紀(jì)錄，令世界藝術(shù)界人士瞠目結(jié)舌。

凡高一生畫了600多幅油畫，可生前僅以低價(jià)賣出過一幅。他在貧病交加的孤寂中，為自己的恩人加歇醫(yī)生畫了這幅畫，他做夢(mèng)也想不到會(huì)成為天價(jià)肖像。

1996年齋藤去世后，此畫不知下落。

二、《拿煙斗的男孩》

2004年在蘇富比拍賣場(chǎng)上，西班牙畫家畢加索1905年創(chuàng)作的油畫《拿煙斗的男孩》拍出1.04億美元的天價(jià)。后來，畢加索的另一幅油畫《多拉·馬拉與貓》又以9520萬美元的高價(jià)被一個(gè)神秘的俄羅斯買家收入囊中。

三、《鮑爾夫人》

2006年6月，奧地利象征主義畫家古斯塔夫·克里姆特的作品《阿德勒·布洛赫——鮑爾夫人》，一舉刷新了凡高、畢加索畫價(jià)的最高紀(jì)錄，以1.35億美元被化妝品巨頭羅納德·S·勞德購走。

四、《1948年，第五號(hào)》

在最近舉行的索思比拍賣會(huì)上，美國抽象表現(xiàn)主義畫家杰克遜·波洛克的油畫《1948年，第五號(hào)》，更以1.4億美元的天價(jià)被墨西哥金融家戴維·馬丁內(nèi)斯收藏，這令世人匪夷所思。這幅長(zhǎng)2.5米、寬1.2米的油畫，原由好萊塢娛樂業(yè)大亨戴維·格芬擁有，是抽象主義、表現(xiàn)主義和超現(xiàn)實(shí)主義三結(jié)合的代表作。

The Most Expensive Paintings in 2006

Some paintings on the world’s arts market have kept breaking price records. By the end of 2006， five paintings had passed the $80-million-threshold.

Portrait of Dr. Gachet by Vincent van Gogh

On May 15， 1990， the Japanese business tycoon Ryoei Saito shocked the world when he paid 82.50 million US dollars for the masterpiece within 3 minutes， creating a new world record for an artwork. Vincent van Gogh created more than 600 oil paintings but sold only one at a cheap price during his lifetime. He painted this portrait for the doctor， his benefactor， to express his gratitude. He didn’t know it would be sold for an astronomical price. Ryoei Saito passed away in 1996. The whereabouts of the masterpiece is not known.
