The World's Most Expensive Paintings
Art critic Alastair Sooke tracks down the ten most expensive paintings to sell at auction, and
investigates the stories behind the astronomic prices art can reach. Gaining access to the
glittering world of the super-rich, Sooke discovers why the planet's richest people want to spend
their millions on art. Featuring works by Picasso, Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, Klimt and Rubens, Sooke
enters a world of secrecy and rivalry, passion and power. Highlights include a visit to the
art-crammed home of millionaire author Lord Archer; a rare interview with the man at the heart of
the sale of the most expensive old master of all time; privileged access to auctioneers Christie's;
and a glimpse of the world of the Russian oligarchs. These revelatory journeys allow Sooke to
present an eye-opening view of the super wealthy, and their motivations as collectors of the world's
great art treasures.
