List of most expensive photographs
This is a list of the 30 highest prices paid for photographs. All prices include the buyer's premium, which is the auction house fee for handling the work.
Disputed claim
- In December 2014, Peter Lik reportedly sold a photograph titled Phantom to an anonymous bidder for $6.5 million, making it potentially the third highest price paid for a photograph. Lik's claim has been greeted with much scepticism. Claims of the sale have never been proven, and the buyer has not come forward, though a lawyer claiming to represent the buyer claims that the deal was real.
