Photograph Sells For Record 4.3 Million

A new world record was set for a photograph yesterday. The image went for 4.3 million, titled "Rhein II" by the photographer Andreas Gursky.

Two thoughts
- wonder how much Rhein I is worth?
- I love it when they do the .3 thingy, like $300 000 is chump change, hardly worth mentioning. I would be extremely happy if one of my photographs sold for 1% of the .3! $3000 would pay for all my travel/living costs and a bit of my film for the upcoming Thai trip.

Here is the photograph and the link to the story, its a beautiful photograph that measures 2 meters by 3 meters.
