This one will drive many here insane (almost did me {but I might actually already be}; lol). $4.3 million for a picture?
Actually I like it, and even more so when it is eventually reprinted world-wide to a poster size at a drastic markdown like $29. If you read Gorsky's bio you will see that he has paid his dues. This photograph is wall- sized. I don't think any of us can grasp the effect when it is taken out of context and reproduced on a computer screen. Museums and wealthy art connoisseurs don't pay that kind of money without knowing what they are doing. Overpaid Wall St. CEOs, multi-millionaire athletes, $25 million per movie actors, and even the talentless Snooki and Paris Hilton rake in the money. I can't see why an exceptional, living artist can't do the same.
