It's a Gursky World

With "The Rhein II " selling for $4.3 million, I thought it might be interesting to take a look at Andreas Gursky.

Gursky World: A Portrait of Photographer Andreas Gursky (http://www.petapixel.com/2011/11/10/gursky-world-a-portrait-of-photographer-andreas-gursky/)

I watch this video with fascination to find the answer to the question of how a photograph came to be so valuable. Not that I'm going to reach that level, but one can dream. It's a fascinating piece on what the photographer Gursky does and how he does it, and the journalist/essayist is really an admirer of the art, who tries to imitate the artist, thereby clarifying the artistic elements. Thanks for sharing the link.

Squeezed out the time to check it and was better for it:thumbup:

I have to say that when I saw the photo although it is nice I just don't see the $$$$. Maybe I just don't appreciate the finer things in life.:shrug:

When I first saw "The Rhein II" I wasn't blown away with awe, however the video does go a long way in explaining the whole process, I think some time the message is lost in the presentation, these pieces are supposed to be seen large, not as small jpegs on the internet.
