$3,346,456 photograph

If money were no object you could bid on a print of the photograph called '99 Cent II, Diptych' by Andreas Gursky the next time it comes up for auction (the word Diptych refers to a two-part photograph). In early 2007 a print of this photograph was bought for $3,346,456. The photograph depicts the interior of a discount store and it is huge - over 22 feet wide. There are so many colors and details it literally overwhelms the viewer. Another print of this photograph sold several months earlier for $2.48 million. Wow! You might want to get out there and take some pictures...
