They are calling it “the most historically significant Bob Ross original painting ever created,” and it could be all yours!
The Modern Artist art gallery in Minneapolis is selling “A Walk in the Woods,” which is Bob Ross’ first-ever painting he created on The Joy of Painting!
Gallery owner Ryan Nelson said in a statement to Art News, “Bob Ross has surpassed Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso as the internet’s most searched for artist according to data from Google Analytics.
“It’s an incredibly impressive feat, especially considering that there is virtually no official marketing, and his original paintings are nearly impossible to find."
You can make an offer for “A Walk in the Woods” on the Modern Artist gallery’s website; the asking price is a cool $9.85 million. Hey, it is signed, too!
While the gallery will entertain all serious offers, Nelson says they ultimately they want to see the painting in a museum or traveling exhibit "to allow as many people as possible to view such an exciting work of art."
