I created a masterpiece painting in the style of Jackson Pollack and I have been having trouble selling it. One of the best features of my artwork is that its value doubles every month. When I started it was a bargain at $100, but in order to show appreciation, the following month I had to raise the price to $200. When after a month I got no bids, I doubled the price again to $400. The painting is now worth $12,800, and I'm afraid few people can afford that much. I want to get rich soon, so how do I get the people with money to give me a whole lot of it? I did create a masterpiece, after all.

Check out the correct spelling...it's Pollock.
If your a true artist it will come. You create a following according
to other peoples opinion of your work. Self worth is important but you don't sell artwork with the thought I'm going to get rich from it.
That comes with talent and soon enough the paintings will start to sell themselve. Also try your own style....Pollock already did his style!

Wait... does the "value" of your artwork double every month because that's what other people will pay for it, or does it double every month simply because you raise the price? A store owner may raise the price of a toy truck to $1000, but that doesn't mean it's worth that much.
You should try working through a gallery. A professional gallery will help you price your artwork and get it sold. After all, they don't get money until you do. One thing though. You will need to have more pieces than just one in order to get into a gallery, then you'll need to send some sort of portfolio to several and then hope you get into one.
At first, prices for your artwork may be low. The value of your art increases when the first buyers resell your art for more money. These buyers get the first "big bucks" for your art, but then you benefit by raising the price of all the artwork you create afterwards. This process determines the current value of your artwork. You can't just set the value yourself.

The fine art market is a serious pain to get what things are worth, particularly with new or contemporary unknown artists. Ask anyone in the field; noone gets rich quick.
All you can do is network like crazy, see how many gallery showings you can get in the finer gallerys, and hope for the best. Good luck.

After you hang your picture, hang yourself next to it.
The death of the Fabricator or Artist (hence the supply), should make the Faux Pollack (Pollock) priceless.
As you have now assumed Nirvana and room temperature simultaneously, you have created a win-win situation.

Get it hung in a local gallery.
The more people that see it the better the chance you'll sell it.

Quadrupeling the price seems to be the only logical thing to me.

His work is special because HE did it...not you...and he did it first.
