The Theater of the Absurd








I know that I am out of touch with many of the realities of today's high-end photography art market. However, the recent sale of Andreas Gursky's "Rhine II" for $4.3 million (http://artfixdaily.com/news_feed/2011/11/14/9513-photographer-andreas-gursky-unseats-cindy-sherman-in-record-setti) leaves me thinking.

Picasso is said to have said that the difference between a good artist and a great artist is that good artists only steal from good artists, but great artists steal from great artists.s

I am so inspired that I have taken one of my images, shown above (the first one in case you can't figure it out), and "edited out all extraneous factors."

During the holidays I'll be offering this at a mere $ 1.0 million for an edition of one image. If no one is interested in the "single image" offer, I will offer it at my normal prices.
