Picture of the Week #105 "Gursky Glasses" Venice, California USA 2010 Signed and Stamped

Swiss photographer Andreas Gursky sold a photograph in 2007 for the highest price ever for a single photograph in an auction. It went for 3.3 million dollars. It was of a 99 cent store. The critics say that what makes Gursky's images are his manipulation and enhancements that create spaces larger than the original subjects that he photographs. In my case, I did not have to do that as this rack of sun glasses on display in Venice California was my version of a Gursky print. Now, if only I could match his prices.
