Apparently, the photo shown below sold for $4.3 million on Tuesday night at Christie’s. In all sincerity, I think that every photo I’ve seen posted on this forum is better, even the accidental ones that were taken when the cat jumped on the shutter release :lol:
It’s a triumph! (of hype).

I like the photo but jeez the price !. Its 81×140 inches. Looks like printing extra large is the key :)

Wow…
That’s a lot of money…
I think if really wanted that image to be part of life, and I had that kind of cash, I’d build a house there so if was the veiw out of my window.

It is a nice, strippy image.

$3.89million for the Cindy Sherman is pretty amazing too.
