The most viral paintings on social media are also up for auction.
Also up for auction are two oil paintings depicting tweets that have gone viral on the platform in recent years. The first is a reproduction of the famous selfie dated Oscar Night 2014asked by Ellen DeGeneres to Bradley Cooper – therefore filmed last – which features Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and Lupita Nyong’o. At that time, it was retweeted over a million times in an hour, thus becoming the most viral post in the history of the social network. Another, however, picture published Barack Obama after being re-elected president in 2012, hugging his wife Michelle. This image also holds a record of likes and retweets.
