The original print of the masterpiece, widely considered to be Man Ray's most famous work, is expected to fetch between $5-7 million when it goes under the hammer at Christie's in May -- the highest estimate for a single photograph in auction history, according to the auction house.

If Man Ray would see what the market of photography has become. People shouting in utter happiness because Getty or SS sold their images for 10 cents  ;D ;D ;D

Forget Man Ray my hero is Sultan Gustaf Al Ghozal. An Indonesian student earning $1 million with selfies sold as NFTs.

And hopefully this price will surpass a mockery, Andreas Gursky's Rhine II that sold for $4 million at Christies.

Nothing worse than someone gushing analysis with unrelenting and eloquent praise over an image that sold to a wealth collector based on the artists name and popularity. Maybe because it's on Plexiglass and could self destruct as the medium is experimental. https://www.dailyartmagazine.com/andreas-gursky-rhine-ii/

Here's to Ray Man and vintage surrealist film art photo prints.

I really like the Gursky stuff. It's very, very impressive in the flesh, the images are huge and flawlessly detailed. I wasn't expected to be impressed, but I was.
