As long as it’s Italian, it’s okay to like cherubs. This set really is pretty magnificent though. It consists of a big bed, two end tables, a dresser and a mirror. After all, the asking price of $16,900 is relatively reasonable for an entire set that dates back to 1890.
Furniture may not be your cup of tea, and usually isn’t very exciting, but when you can combine art with your furniture, then it really becomes a matter of two for the price of one. This set displays incredible, rich detail and design.

Ever since Homer Simpson attended rock ‘n’ roll fantasy camp hosted by the Rolling Stones and other rock legends, we’ve all known that he needs a little help in the music industry.

This Homer Simpson electric guitar is truly one of a kind, having been carved by hand and constructed from a solid block of mahogany.

Happy birthday Mr. President! This is the complete set of Marilyn Monroe’s “Red Velvet Collection autographed by Tom Kelley, the photographer of this series. There are only 30 sets of this series in existence, and Kelley has signed and numbered each of the photos in this set, validating the $5,000 starting bid.
Monroe is the original calendar girl, and at 22 years old, these nude photos show how the advent of the calendar girl gained such momentum. In fact, it was one of these photos that launched Hugh Hefner’s Playboy magazine in 1953.
Get this Anthony Falbo painting entitled “Crack Head” for your home, and give yourself a talking point you will really be able to embrace. This painting is oil on stretched canvas and the author credits all his skill and creativity to his Christian beliefs so all art-lovers can appreciate what Falbo has created.
At 24″ by 30″, this painting is decently sized to fit in most rooms in your home, and would be especially fitting in a bathroom, given the toilet-imagery of this painting. With its obvious God and Satan imagery, Falbo’s religious leanings are obvious so whether you appreciate this artwork as just that or as a sort of iconography, you should check out this painting.
Andy Warhol was one of America’s leading pop artists. In fact, he is commonly accepted as one of the most influential artists of our time. He provided an eccentric, but refreshing view into our culture and how events around the world were shaping our society.
This Superman II painting will forever be an icon of 20th-century art, and is now immortalized by the amazing life and death of Christopher Reed. This piece is part of the amazing Myths Series. Although $160,000 may seem a pretty penny to pay, this is a super famous work by an amazing man.
When you thought you’d seen every side of Anna Nicole Smith, you can now own a self-portrait of her backside! This is an authentic original self-portrait oil painting signed by the late Anna Nicole.
This painting has actually been featured on Entertainment Tonight and several other hit television shows. But I’m pretty sure it wasn’t for her artistic merit. And as it’s a nude, it probably wasn’t for her venture into a completely new avenue of inspiration in her life. I don’t care that it’s signed or how many headlines she grabbed during her life and postmortem, for $220,500 you could put one of her centerfolds in a really nice frame instead!
With the story behind this painting it is very hard to believe that this artwork is not being sold to a museum, but such is how it stands. If you’re going to cough up $7,500,000 these sellers want for this picture, it might be best for you to will yourself to believe the story that this painting was given to Hitler by Stalin as a threat that Stalin would beat Hitler. Yeah, we rolled our eyes too.
And whoever decided that frames should always be as gaudy as a painting is dull should just stop framing things. Still interested? Put your bid in at the auction site
This sounds like the real deal — this is the only authentic hand-signed lithograph of “Persistence of Memory” by Salvador Dali. Even if you hate his work (shame on you if you do), anyone who knows anything about the art world will confirm that an actual signature on the artwork raises the intrinsic value by exponential amounts. Which explains why this Dali lithograph and unsigned mini linocut reproduction by Pablo Picasso are selling for $27,000 (upon requesting a reduction from the starting $1.7 million).
It’s actually surprising that this piece is even circulating. One would think that a masterpiece such as this, by one of the world’s most famous artists, would be in a museum or traded between elite galleries. In other words, bid on it!
This represents just one piece in a fine series of original artwork. The fact that there are no copies of this piece means that the value is automatically higher and will continue to increase, making this an ideal addition to an existing collection or creating a long-term opportunity for resale, which also justifies the $2,707,770 minimum bid amount.
This particular artist, Kloska, is unique in that he paints from an engineering background, delivering precise, yet imaginative strokes. His balance between the stringent angles of the real world and elements from the spiritual aspect of life make his subject matter strikingly poignant both in aesthetics and meaning. Having said all of this, when considering the price, I would first look into the possibility of finding an original piece by a renowned artist at a comparable price. Above all, artwork is supposed to speak to you, so lead with your heart, not your wallet here.
