The NEW Most Expensive Photograph EVER (11/10/11)

[texkam]

I like his work. After watching the above link I can understand and appreciate where he's coming from. I wonder if he's seen DFW? I wonder if he's been to Marfa?

WOW! thats a bit much... It was too boring for me.

[iCe]

Someone offered me that for one of MY images and I told them no








or woke up or something like that... I forget sometimes...

The Emperor has no subject..

Don't be so quick to judge an artist on one piece folks. Learn about his work.

It was too boring for me.

Yes. Perhaps that's the idea.

[Bayskiff]

It's I could take a picture of a parking lot and would be more interesting.

There is already a discussion in the Open Talk section, if I recall correctly. Moreover, the artist/photographer edited-out a factory and trees on the far bank of the river, so it did not start out as a nature shot. It certainly helped that this guy was already a very big name in photography, so now everything he does is considered art.

Thanks to the OP for sharing. I found it interesting if nothing else. I really liked the photo as a background. Or perhaps a wallpaper for my iphone. I think my apps would show up well with that background :) Kidding aside, there wasn't anything I didn't like about the photo. There also wasn't anything that stood out to me and caught my interest.

I did that. I must have missed something. What of his do you like and why?

[David Alaniz]

I would like to know who bought it.

[ttusa]

Uh.....................

[BCPhoto]

Silly me. They didn't really buy his photo. What was I thinking? They bought his name. There...that fixes everything.

Something that did make me laugh was this, I watch Pawn Stars all the time and any time someone brings in art to pawn the first thing they say is "art is a tough sell in this economy". Obliviously not!
