In general, anything and everything can be auctioned on this site as long as it is of legal terms and it does not violate the eBay Prohibited and Restricted Items policy. Services and other intangibles can also be sold here. This was also the sole reason why eBay has caught itself into a grave controversy when a certain item was put up for a bid, item such as kidneys was once put up for auction on eBay.
Anything could be sold on eBay, as mentioned before, and so people have come to ask for certain products that sold well on that site like for instance, what is the most costly work of art sold on eBay.
Most of the time, aspiring artists or more specifically painters use eBay to try to crawl their way to the top of the list of the most costly art sold on eBay. Not only does this give them money in return for their artworks, but it also gives them the credibility and popularity they simply want and needed to be a renowned and famous artist or painter.
The most expensive art sold on eBay was given at an astonishing and overwhelming price of $21, 000,000.00 is the Modern Art Painting entitled “The Blow Job” by artist Martin Arts.
This painting by the very young and aspiring artist Marin Arts has been sold at a very pricey cost and has successfully crowned his masterpiece as the most costly art sold on the said website. Although it may seem simple and plain to some, to others, it is the most incredible thing.
The artist’s architectural and cityscape painting was a style of modern expressionism. It was painted using oil on a canvas size that is 26 inches by 16 inches big. He painted this artwork in the United States of America.
What Do I Think
The artist expresses his beliefs and thoughts about Alexandre Dumas’ quote through this painting, “There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness.”
