Nafea Faa Ipoipo (When Will You Marry?), is a double portrait of two young women painted in 1892 Tahiti.
Oh, by the way, it happens to be the most expensive painting... ever.
Quote:
A colorful painting of two Tahitian women by Paul Gauguin has reportedly been sold by a
Swiss family foundation to a group of state museums in Qatar for nearly $300 million,
a record sum for a single work of art.
The price would best the roughly $250 million that Qatar paid three years ago for Paul Cezanne’s
“The Card Players,” and underscores the purchasing power and ambitions of the nation.
