Abstract

The article discusses the sale of a signed original painting by Bob Ross, titled "A Walk in the Woods," which is listed for $9.85 million, potentially making it the most expensive Ross painting ever. This artwork, created during the first episode of his PBS show "The Joy of Painting," was originally sold at a benefit auction to a PBS volunteer for an estimated price of less than $100. Despite Bob Ross's prolific output of over 30,000 paintings, his estate has primarily focused on managing his intellectual property rather than selling his artworks, which are rarely available on the market. The painting is currently held by a Minneapolis gallery, whose owner expresses a desire to showcase it publicly while also considering offers for its sale. [Extracted from the article]
