I'm with Kirk Gittings on this one. Compare this "sale" price to prices of photographs sold at auction--photographs by widely recognized artists. Smells. Smells wrong.

Sounds like the mafia is "buying" art again

Wow you guys are bitter. I like the picture. It's also extremely similar to a lot of what you'll see in the landscape thread here.

Worse, we can look forward to see a huge increase of the lemming-emulators in the canyon. While in the SW (just months ago) I found many more spectacular places without drooling over the iconic. But, getting back to the image, I've seen several (by other artists) that made me look again and again....yes, a detail of the canyon....and this one just doesn't. Just my pov.

It's funny that Lik's photographs don't seem to command anything near these prices at public auctions.
Also, fyi, this same buyer bought two other prints at the same time, one for $2.4 million and one for $1.1 million. According to Lik's press release.
You'd think with prices like these existing owners would be coming out of the woodwork to sell their prints...
But this is nothing that doesn't happen every day in the regular art world.

Presuming it is digital, I wonder what the file is worth? A favorite Linux command "wget". For some reason I can imagine Monte Python ordering copies of different sizes and colors, and you you make that smaller or that larger, move that here and reverse that with this. I worked in the digital hardware/software side of graphics for decades, I'm done.
