‘The work became famous as being the most expensive photograph in the world when it was auctioned at Sotheby’s on February 7, 2007, for a price of US$3.34 million. Another auction in New York in May 2006 fetched $2.25 million for a second print, and a third print sold for $2.48 million in November 2006 at a New York gallery.[4] These would be the fourth and sixth-most costly photographs sold, as of 2011. On May 12, 2011, Cindy Sherman’s Untitled #96 from 1981 was sold for $3.89 million.’
