Cindy Sherman,Philippines most expansive photo

Sold in 2010 at the Phillips auction house in New York City for $2,770,500, Cindy Sherman’s Untitled #153 has secured the artist a second ranking among the world’s top-selling photographs. Part of the artist’s 1985 series Fairy Tales commissioned by Vanity Fair magazine, which was inspired by the often macabre undertones of fairy tales, Untitled #153 is a morbidly beautiful self-portrait depicting Sherman as a dirt-encrusted corpse.
