New record - The most expensive picture
Wednesday, February 15, 2006
A photograph of a pond taken by Edward Steichen sold for more than $2.9 million yesterday, easily setting a world record for the highest amount a photograph has sold for at auction, Sotheby's said.
The photograph, titled "The Pond-Moonlight" and taken on Long Island in 1904, sold for $2,928,000, including the buyer's premium, said Matthew Weigman, a Sotheby's spokesman. It was bought by Peter MacGill, of Pace/MacGill Gallery, on behalf of a private collector.
The previous record, $1,248,000, was set in November by Richard Prince's "Untitled (Cowboy)."

That is really expensive for a picture. But then it could be a very nice collector's item. Here's another site you might want to look at that has interesting pictures just like what you have in here. Thank you .
