ARTS & LEISURE: New World-Record Price Paid at Auction for a PHOTOGRAPH...

GUARDIAN UK story here, on world record price paid recently in NY for a single photograph... almost three-million dollars!

"The Pond-Moonlight by Edward Steichen..."

...taken on Long Island in 1904, broke the world record price for a photograph when it was sold for more than $2.9m at a two-day Sotheby's sale which began in New York last night. The previous record for a photograph at auction, $1,248,000, was set in November by Richard Prince's "Untitled (Cowboy)".

More than double the previous record! We needed a break from politics as usual, Herb.
