It may look simple enough, but this work, titled “Phantom”

and taken by Australian/U.S. photographer Peter Lik,

has made art history, selling for an astonishing $6.5 million

and setting a record for the most expensive photograph of all time.

The work sold to a private collector, who also bought two other Lik works,  

“Illusion” and “Eternal Moods,” for $2.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively.  

“The purpose of all my photos is to capture the power of nature and convey it in a way  

that inspires someone to feel passionate and connected to the image,” Lik said in a press release. 

“Certain textures and contours found in nature lend themselves beautifully

to black and white photography,” said Lik.  

“The intensity of contrasting light and dark spaces was surprising,  

but made for some of the most powerful images I’ve ever created.” 

“Phantom” was taken in Arizona’s Antelope Canyon, an area routinely catalogued by photographers,  

both budding and professional, because of its curved rocks and beams of light.
