Imagine, in your head, a new art gallery, on the internet — a universal gallery, uniting art from all corners of the world on a massive e-commerce website. You’re thinking [it’s probably terrible](https://hyperallergic.com/taking-stock-of-amazon-art/), but don’t you also want to know how the work stacks up, monetarily speaking? There are currently 32,890 pieces on Amazon Art, which begs some difficult questions, like what would a listicle of 10 of the Most Expensive Artworks on Amazon Art look like? [Well, something like this](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/10/amazon-art%5Fn%5F3725598.html?ref=hyperallergic.com). What about 10 of the Most Cheapest Artworks on Amazon Art? Like this:

## 1\. Ryan Humphrey, “Untitled (dollar bill)” (2013) 

![Screen Shot 2013-08-13 at 11.30.11 AM](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/hyperallergic-newspack-s3-amazonaws-com/uploads/2013/08/screen-shot-2013-08-13-at-11-30-11-am.png)

Yes, the cheapest artwork on Amazon Art is a real dollar bill. Or, more specifically, a stamp on a “found dollar bill.” (Note: this could be a great way to launder money.) ([$10](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00E41PJ20/hyperallergic-20?ref=hyperallergic.com))

## 2\. Kurt Leffler Ii, “I’ll be your Teddy Bear” 

![Screen Shot 2013-08-13 at 11.40.02 AM](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/hyperallergic-newspack-s3-amazonaws-com/uploads/2013/08/screen-shot-2013-08-13-at-11-40-02-am1.png)

“I was inspired by [a ZZ-Top song about being someone’s teddy bear](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6zyiKo7Fy0&ref=hyperallergic.com). This was the result of that.” OK! ([$42.88](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00DPYZ87I/hyperallergic-20?ref=hyperallergic.com))

## 3\. Niki Bradley, “Victorian Meh” (2011) 

![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/hyperallergic-newspack-s3-amazonaws-com/uploads/2013/08/screen-shot-2013-08-13-at-11-41-25-am.png)

  
“First in a series of bizarre portraits of bizarre animals. This is a digital painting, containing no photography.” ([$44](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00DPY1CLY/hyperallergic-20?ref=hyperallergic.com))

## 4\. Kate Nielsen, “Survival Tip #3 (Shark)” (2013)

![Screen Shot 2013-08-13 at 11.41.03 AM](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/hyperallergic-newspack-s3-amazonaws-com/uploads/2013/08/screen-shot-2013-08-13-at-11-41-03-am.png)

This work comes from a series of “survival tips” — the shark one was most compelling. The text beneath the image says, in part, “If you are being attacked by a shark, punch it in the nose.” All told, this is not bad advice, or bad art. ([$45](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00DY8LE3M/hyperallergic-20?ref=hyperallergic.com))

## 5\. Dave Macdowell, “I get high with a liitle \[sic\] help from Vermeer” (2012) 

![Screen Shot 2013-08-13 at 11.41.54 AM](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/hyperallergic-newspack-s3-amazonaws-com/uploads/2013/08/screen-shot-2013-08-13-at-11-41-54-am.png)

Brilliant. ([$50](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00DWJ7X6K/hyperallergic-20?ref=hyperallergic.com))

## 6\. Stacy Rajab, “Be Good. Or I will Text Santa” (2011) 

![Screen Shot 2013-08-13 at 11.42.50 AM](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/hyperallergic-newspack-s3-amazonaws-com/uploads/2013/08/screen-shot-2013-08-13-at-11-42-50-am.png)

Don’t [do it](http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2013/08/09/werner%5Fherzog%5Ftexting%5Fwhile%5Fdriving%5Fdocumentary%5Ffrom%5Fone%5Fsecond%5Fto%5Fthe%5Fnext.html?ref=hyperallergic.com). ([$55](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00DPY1E6M/hyperallergic-20?ref=hyperallergic.com))

This is actually kind of great. ([$60](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00ECFL8CI/hyperallergic-20?ref=hyperallergic.com))

## 8\. Jennifer DiGuglielmo, “Jarring” 

![Screen Shot 2013-08-13 at 11.43.48 AM](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/hyperallergic-newspack-s3-amazonaws-com/uploads/2013/08/screen-shot-2013-08-13-at-11-43-48-am.png)

Solid title pun. ([$70](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00E9G6T0G/hyperallergic-20?ref=hyperallergic.com))

## 9\. Matthew Carden, “FIFA Player Blue” (2010)

“These images were created for a VIP Brunch invitation for the The Fédération Internationale de Football Association who is the international governing body of association football, futsal and beach soccer.” ([$75](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00EI3ZLFO/hyperallergic-20?ref=hyperallergic.com))
