Really? $4.3 Million for That Photo?

  I've seen steeper prices for crappier paintings

    Considering that painting set a record for the amount it sold for, I'd say you haven't.

      The item set a record for a photo, not a painting. gcb may have seen a crappier item, a painting, sold for more than this item, a photo.

  Sorry for being naive, but what about that photo makes it worth that much? I've seen landscape photos that illicit an emotional response from me but I just can't see what makes this worth that much. It just looks like a drab, overcast day in any place in the world.

    Accordingly to article, such a price comes from: - It's not uncommon for this photographer to sell his photos for huge money. - There are only few prints done. So this is mostly about who do it. And why his photos? I would say, luck.
