Most Expensive Photographs

Sold at Christie's impressionist and modern art auction in New York, it became the most expensive photograph ever sold at auction. It beat Cindy Sherman's Untitled #96, which sold for a whopping $3.89 million this May. Gursky's print, made in 1999, and depicts a stunning panorama of Germany's most famous river.
