The price of Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette (c.1886) by Vincent van Gogh is uncertain and possibly priceless as the painting was always within the van Gogh family. When the artist died, his brother Theo van Gogh, acquired the painting. After his death Theo’s wife, Johanna van Gogh-Bonger, inherited it and it was passed on to hers and Theo’s son, also named Vincent Willem van Gogh. The painting became a part of the Van Gogh Foundation and it was loaned to the Stedelijk Museum and then to the Van Gogh Museum, both located in Amsterdam. It is now housed at the Van Gogh Museum.
