http://www.slrlounge.com/2-most-expensive-photographs-in-the-world There are many questions, comments regarding these. I was quite mesmerised by one in particular :- Jeff Wall's “Dead Troops Talk”, particularly when viewed in large size http://deadroninstudios.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/jeff_wall.jpg Any comments?
I think I would have to see a big print on a wall to judge Mike, that one is a set piece from the photographer, see this link. I know sometimes it is the story behind the work but not 100% sure in this case, it is after all a photomontage. edit: I mean not 100% sure that it works in this particular instance although I understand the history fairly well.
I would have liked to have seen it too, Jim. I wonder how long it took him to stage the photo and what camera was used also. It must have taken a lot of resources and time to complete it.
