Andreas Gursky most expensive photograph “Rhein II”

Photographer from Germany Andreas Gursky is famous for large-format pictures of architecture and landscapes. In 1999 he took a series of six photos of Rein, where the biggest and the best-known of them became "Rhine II". The print may be Plexiglass-mounted, signed, and gigantic (it's nearly 12 feet wide), but the price had many people scratching their heads.

The large-scale image depicts a digitally manipulated river scene outside Dusseldorf devoid of people and buildings, described by MoMA as a ‘romantic hymn to the grandeur of the Rhine River’. Andreas Gursky is probably the number one art photographer in the world right now.

As you know from our articles before, The Largest Diamond Ever Sold At Auction was the size of a small egg. And record braking price was $30.6 million at a Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong.
