A print of Andreas Gursky's "Rhein II" broke records with its $4.33 million price tag at a Chrtitie's auction this past November, making it the most expensive photo ever sold.
Gursky's had previously claimed the title of highest-priced photo with his diptych, "99 Cent Store"—purchased for $3.35 million in 2006.
For a brief six months, Gursky lost his place when Cindy Sherman's self portrait, sold for $3.89 million in May 2011.
