An earlier post reported on the new world’s most expensive photo. The New York Times questions this claim as it does Mr. Lik’s entire method of work.

Peter Lik may claim to have sold the world’s most expensive photo, with the $6.5 million Phantom (see $6.5 Million Landscape Is World’s Most Expensive Photo), but the artist is artificially inflating his market. (This is not the kind of cheating we had in mind in the story Does Photography Help Artists Cheat?)
