What makes this photograph worth $4,338,500 (other than the obvious fact someone was prepared to pay that amount for it)?
It's not the photograph, but the photoshop skills required to remove a few structures from the scene that makes it so valuable...Jeffbridge said:What makes this photograph worth $4,338,500 (other than the obvious fact someone was prepared to pay that amount for it)?

Now, who wants to offer me $5,000,000 for this incredibly rare picture of Neil Armstrong's cat which travelled with him to the moon......
Hey Don, I prefer the picture of the cat on the moon. But I have not much money to buy it. However, as you are not yet a famous "artist", can give me a nice discount, and sell to me for only $ 1,000,000? Seriously, The photo of auction is one of the most "boring" that I've ever seen. These auctions of "art" are a good way to make money laundering and other tax crimes. I want to see if the buyer will be able to sell that boring photo for more than U.S. $ 4,000,000 sometime in the future. I like being called a PHOTOGRAPHER, and when someone calls me ARTIST, I think he's cursing me.Don Haines said:It's not the photograph, but the photoshop skills required to remove a few structures from the scene that makes it so valuable...Jeffbridge said:What makes this photograph worth $4,338,500 (other than the obvious fact someone was prepared to pay that amount for it)?

Oh it is def. a bad photoshop job... see it in the original image... check out the large version at this link and you can easily see the same grass pattern repeated in lower right corner...j0hannes said:I hope the picture you posted is not the original Gursky, because a huge portion of the lower right corner is very obviously clone-stamped.
...and yet he left some orange piece of garbage near the water and a set of stairs(?) on the opposite bank in the photo.starflux said:Oh it is def. a bad photoshop job... see it in the original image... check out the large version at this link and you can easily see the same grass pattern repeated in lower right corner...j0hannes said:I hope the picture you posted is not the original Gursky, because a huge portion of the lower right corner is very obviously clone-stamped.
