Earning a Living
What is the value of the passionate work we do?
Vincent Van Gogh is reputed to have sold one painting during his lifetime. Red Vineyards near Arles (1888) was purchased by a fellow painter, Anna Boch, for 400 francs (about $74 today).
Another of his paintings, L'Arlésienne, Madame Ginoux (1890), will be auctioned this Tuesday at Christie's in NYC. You can enter your bid online. Estimated price: $40,000,000 to $50,000,000.
