Some artwork brings crazy prices...and some of it is crazy artwork. I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would want a painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat that looks like it was painted by a 5 year old.
A Japanese billionaire paid $110.5 million for the following and $93 million for the one after that.

The most expensive landscape photograph would be either Rhine II by Andreas Gursky or Phantom by Peter Lik. However, Phantom was sold privately. So, we only have Peter's word on how much was paid. That is, as of the last time I read about this photograph.

That is true. Landscape Photographer Peter Lik sold his print, titled "Phantom," for $6.5 million to a private collector in November, 2014.

Art is in the eye of the beholder. The magnificence of these two works can only be experienced in person.

Ya, sometimes I think of abstract art a bit like the thousand monkeys typing for a thousand years and at some point creating one of Shakespeare's great works. Some of the abstract art is appealing to me because of its content, and some because of what was produced by some interesting technique.
