i actually really like the photo. its just his style, perfectly centered and everything its like you can get lost in the symmetry of everything.

here is the previous record holder, by the same photographer. sold for 3.4 million. i really think its just his name that sells the photos so high. i wonder if the people that bought it keep the negative and rights to the picture?

Lol, go for it.

Funnily enough I've just been going through some of Gursky's other work, he truly is a remarkable talent.
Here are some other pieces by him...

I lol'ed. Hard.
EDIT:

NT I'm gonna start taking some photos and painting up some canvases on that Jasper Johns "throw a whole bunch of junk at something and keep what sticks" steez. Who wants to help hype up my reputation so they sell in the millions? I'll split the proceeds 80 / 20.

I'm offering of the greatest MS Paint picture of all time for a steal of a deal at $2,000,000. I'm offering it up to my NT brethren first before going to the public. You can paypal that to me (please use gift though, those fees would be killer). Once the money is in my account, I'll email you the original file. If you're interested in this, I also have some oceanfront property in Kansas for sale and a bridge in New York that I can let go for half price. LMK.

Because you could pay a college student a few thousand to take the same picture.

Hell I can go shoot lake michigan if the market is like that.

I'm going to start an art discussion thread. I hope people that are interested in the subject and want to learn more and help others learn will participate. It's a subject I'm really passionate about and I'm not sure why I haven't thought of discussing it sooner.

I'm just not sophisticated enough to understand fine art
