World's largest canvas painting fetches $62M at Dubai charity auction
Published 24th March 2021
The world's largest canvas painting has sold at a Dubai auction for almost 228 million dirham ($62 million), putting it among the most expensive artworks ever to go under the hammer.
Measuring over 17,000 square feet, "The Journey of Humanity" is roughly equivalent in size to four NBA-regulation basketball courts.
The work was created by British painter Sacha Jafri in order to raise money for children affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Having cut the work into 70 parts, Jafri had initially intended to sell the panels separately in the hope of making a combined $30 million. But at a charity auction on Monday, Dubai-based businessman Andre Abdoune offered more than double that to buy them all.
