Million dollar photo

Postby gooseberry on Fri Nov 11, 2005 11:21 pm

An untitled cowboy photograph by Richard Prince set a record last night for the most expensive photograph sold at auction, with a price of $1,248,000.

Not bad... getting US$1.2 million for a photo. Could fund a lot of lens lust - hehe, a lot of other lusts too.[/quote]

Hang on, it's a photo of a photo!

From the article: "the piece is one in a series of photos Prince took of portions of Marlboro cigarette ads"
