Latest Sale continues to report fabulous finds from the Business Directory. This week we focus on Photography. Peter Lik has made world history by selling the most expensive photograph ever. Priced at £5 million, his masterpiece, Phantom is the world’s most expensive photograph ever sold. The Phantom photograph is shot in a subterranean cavern in Arizona’s Antelope Canyon.
According to Lik, one of his favourite places to shoot is in the Southwestern region of the United States where he is drawn to Arizona’s Antelope Canyon – a slot canyon that is carved out by the natural flowing water that served the canyon millions of years ago. This is where this masterpiece took its course – a cloudy beam of light shining into the canyon that depicts a ghost-like figure.
A private collector bought Lik’s Phantom on November 14th 2014 for £5 million along with Lik’s other photographs with total sales reaching £9 million.
For more than 30 years, Peter Lik has been capturing the most beautiful places on earth through his photography. Known for his black and white photography, Lik’s favourite photographic themes capture landscapes in North America’s southwestern states.
