The Most Expensive Photograph Ever Sold
Once again Gursky makes bank with a picture which could have been taken by just about anyone. Unlike one of his truly interesting and talented pieces such as Chicago Board of Trade, Rhein II features some grass and then some water and then some more grass. Perhaps the effect is lost when looking at the image on a computer as opposed to it’s six foot tall physical form. Gursky’s print was just sold for $4,338,500 at auction, making it the most expensive photograph ever sold.
