Finding out most expensive picture ever sold each year?

9 years 4 months ago #415447 by Kay Baker
I've done some searches on Google and you get some blog sites reporting a few things.  Many are just covering the over all highest priced photos ever sold.  I've noticed some pages talking about how inaccurate some of these are because they don't keep in account the auction houses and private sales. 

I'm just throwing this out here to see if anyone happens to know of something or somewhere that shows a more accurate representation of what is getting sold yearly?  And prices?

I'm not sure why an annual assessment matters.  No one cares about that re: the (re)sale of paintings. Why does it matter for photographic prints?

In any event, for this year, there's a new winner:

Good for him, that's a big score for anyone.  I'm sure off the charts marketing had nothing to do with this sale either.   :whistle:
