“Gustav Klimt's final painting has sold for £85.3m ($108.4m), making it the most valuable work of art ever sold at auction in Europe.”

I love the work of Klimt; he is one of my favourite artists. But every time I see a sale like this, I can’t help but come back to the same question: is any painting—no matter what quality, creativity, size, subject or historical background—worth that amount of money?
