?? Hardly the case. I was interested in see what are the most expensive photos ever sold. I knew Peter Lik had one that sold for just over a million. I didn't see his in this post which got me thinking how accurate is this post considering there are 2 years missing from the date of this article.
A lady sees Picasso sitting outside doing nothing. She walks up to him, recognizes him and asks him to draw her picture (a portrait). He says, "Sure, sit down".
In a few minutes he has finished and hands the lady her pic. "Thank you, what do I owe you"?
"$5000.00"
"But, it only took you a few minutes."
"No ma'am". "It took me my whole life".
It was a pay for her life's work. Not just the one photo.
