Gursky’s “99 Cent II Diptychon

Recently, an anonymous bidder paid $2.48 million for Gursky’s “99 Cent II Diptychon” (2001), which shows the cluttered interior of the famous discount store.

The sale, made at a Nov. 16 auction at Phillips de Pury & Company in New York, set an auction record for a work by a living photographer.

These photographs are amazing to see in person. The scale alone will blow you away. And this is one of my all time favorites.
Who knew it was considered a new classic.

Gursky, a German photographer born in 1955, is known for his objective, documentary-like studies of the everyday. His large-format photos have captured scenes like apartment buildings, concert crowds and the floor of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. He was the subject of a 2001 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, where 43 of his prints were on display.
