A piece by English sculptor, photographer and painter Richard Long was next at £600.
Currently third on the list is a canvas of character Mr Bump by Adam Hargreaves - son of Mr Men creator Roger - at £370.
Other famous names whose art was attracting interest were London Mayor Boris Johnson, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and Monty Python star Eric Idle.
