    What we want to see is a Monty Python take on this. The opening price is 86, 000,000 and nobody wants to buy it, and then, in reverse, the auctioneer keeps reducing the price with still no buyers. Eventually, it comes down to zero and then the Auction house itself has to actually start bidding out prices for how much they will pay someone to take it away.Cleese, of course, is the auctioneer.

    During his life, Van Gogh sold some of his works for less than the worth of the canvas. Monet did well in his latter years. Ce'zaane had some inheritance money, and just started to get recognition late in life. All of them changed the course of mighty rivers.
