“A gallery professional, who asked not to be named for concern over adverse professional repercussions, thinks the price is a bit of a farce. He says he’s noticed a growing trend where photographers are working hard to re-brand themselves as “artists” so they can sell their pieces in the higher-priced fine art markets that don’t traditionally trade in photography.”

Gursky never had to “re-brand” himself as an artist, this so-called “gallery professional” needs to read up on art history. Also, if you’re going to make moronic statements such as this at least put your name on them. Get with the times asshole.
