Assuming you define value by price, Jackson Pollock's No. 5 1948 was sold for a record $140 million in 2006. Some paintings, however, are "priceless. " An example would be The Last Supper, housed in a museum, it's contributions in art, theology, philosophy, literature exceed any monetary worth.

Some paintings, such as the Mona Lisa, could be considered more valuable, but do not have a set value (it is insured for quite a lot). The highest price ever paid for a painting would be the painting "No. 5, 1948" by Jackson Pollock. It sold for $140 million in 2006.
