"Art has appreciated at 5 times the rate of the stock market in the past decade..." ­ Solomon Bros., Wall Street Investment bankers, as quoted in TIME magazine.

Look how some original art pieces have soared in price in just a few years:

"Orange Marilyn" by Andy Warhol sold for $17.3 million, while his 10 screenprints of "Marilyn" fetched a highly respectable $346,750.

A Miro print that sold for $895 in 1979 could easily fetch $15,000 today.

Lichtenstein's "Happy Tears" was auctioned for US $7.1 million at Christie's.

Eric Fischl's "Year of the Drowned Dog" has shot up by as much as $38,000 U.S. since it was first issued in 1973.

Peter Max's "Atlantis Runner" went from $125 in 1977 to $6,500 U.S. in 1991 (a 5,000% increase ). And his "Brown Lady With Vase" climbed from $600 to $4,500 U.S. in just 10 years (a 650% increase).

Chagall Prints which were first issued at just under $1000 in 1973 now sell anywhere from $20,000 to $30,000 U.S. (up to 3,000% more on the New York and London markets.)

Zuniga's first original lithograph was issued at $37 in 1972. Today it's worth $4,000.

A serigraph by Clemens Briels, a relative newcomer, came in at 3 times its pre-auction estimate.
