> The work became famous as being the most expensive photograph in the world when it was auctioned at Sotheby's on February 7 in 2007 for a price of US$3.34 million. Another auction in New York in May 2006 fetched $2.25 million for a second print, and a third print sold for $2.48 million in November 2006 at a New York gallery.[1] These would be the third and fourth-most costly photographs sold, as of 2008.[2]

Hi OP, I love these art threads. I personally love the impressionists and urban realists. When I look at them, I get that feeling when you read a Murakami book.

>> No.1060329

Can anyone refer me to a good history of art book? Something that has a general blurb on all periods, the works produced (IE: paintings, sculptures, visual art, etc.) and plenty of reproduced pictures? Something that shows Greek to Post-Modern. Rembrandt to Bacon and everything in between.

I'd like to learn to become an art snob of sorts, but I obviously can't pay to see the world's best museums, and I don't have the culture necessary to know where to begin. So I'd like to read up on the world's best art pieces and gape in awe for myself.

Any artsy fartsies want to throw me a bone? Amazon link would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've read an interpretation into this piece once. it was titled "A study in grey" or something. The fact that he used his mother to "study" and named the work as so without reference to the mom implies that the artist loved his art more than his mom.

Also I'm probably playing fast and loose with the distinction between "fine art," "illustration," and "graphic design" here. Buyer beware.
