The gallery says that while it will entertain offers \u201cthey would prefer to share it with a museum or traveling exhibit to allow as many people as possible to view such an exciting work of art.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Meanwhile, Modern Artifact plans to take the painting on tour itself, according to\u00a0<em>The Art Newspaper.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">In a statement, gallery owner Ryan Nelson wrote about Ross\u2019s singular place in art and cultural history. \u201cBob Ross has surpassed Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso as the internet\u2019s most searched for artist according to data from Google Analytics,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s an incredibly impressive feat, especially considering that there is virtually no official marketing, and his original paintings are nearly impossible to find.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Ross has become a crossover star of sorts, and\u00a0<em>The Joy of Painting<\/em>\u00a0has captured the attention of an internet-bred generation in search of calm in the SEO storm. In 2015, the Amazon-owned video game streaming site Twitch held a Bob Ross marathon and stearmed all 403 episodes of the show. When it was all over, Twitch claimed that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atelierauction.com\/globalupdates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">5.6 million unique viewers<\/a>\u00a0tuned in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Then, of course, there was the Netflix documentary\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atelierauction.com\/globalupdates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal &amp; Greed<\/a><\/em>\u00a0in 2021 and the Bob Ross-inspired Owen Wilson flick\u00a0<em>Paint.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \"><em>A Walk in the Woods\u00a0<\/em>is just one of the close to\u00a030,000 paintings\u00a0Ross is said to have created in his lifetime and over\u00a01,000 for his television show. The works\u00a0rarely come to auction, despite the fact that Ross often created\u00a0three versions\u00a0for every episode of his instructional show: the first one as a reference for the second, which was created on air, and a third more detailed work that was included in his instructional books. The works were often donated to the Smithsonian Museum, to various\u00a0PBS\u00a0member stations, or kept by Bob Ross, Inc.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">This particular painting was owned by a woman who volunteered at the station where Ross recorded his famous television show, who won it at an auction to support the station.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\u201cThe appeal of Bob Ross has extended far beyond the traditional\u00a0<a id=\"auto-tag_art-market\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AtelierAuctionsg\" data-tag=\"art-market\">art market<\/a>\u00a0and into the world of pop culture.
