World's Most Expensive

I came across the photograph that is apparently the most expensive ever sold.  Stop looking at this blog now and Google.........." Rhein II"........ by Gursky.  Study it carefully.  It's complicated.  I showed it to my wife (being an artist) and asked her to explain it's  $4.3 million value to me.  " Simplicity, power, artist vision" she tried to bullshit.  An art world with too much to invest and not much taste seems like a more realistic evaluation.  It reminds me of the now famous painting of "Cow Eating Grass".  Explaining questions about the blank canvas, the artist answers:  Where is the grass? Cow ate it.  Where is the cow?  Why should she hang around when there is no grass to eat.   I would like to offer any of the following photos for sale at the reduced price of only $3.3 million.  OBO.

  1. Addressing Rhein ll .....You obviously missed the big turd floating down the river. Also you failed to mentioned that the grass was recently cut. Adds to the value. As to your valued shots....Do you take checks? lp
