On This Day
In 1987... The picture 'Sunflowers', painted by Vincent van Gogh was sold at auction by Christie's for £24,750,000.Van Gogh took his own life and died with insanity, and a virtual pauper after mainly giving away his paintings in exchange for goods, but never selling any of what were to become masterpieces, selling for millions.
