Capitalism for Sale

REFCO-owned Avenue of the Americas, by Andreas Gursky is for sale at Christie’s for an estimated $250,000 - $350,000.

“His incisive vision incorporates a panoramic view of urban sprawl, in which people appear enshrouded in beautifully packaged vitrines, anonymous and subsumed into the uniform fabric of global capitalism.” (as described in the photo’s lot by Christie’s).

I’ve seen his work at the SFMOMA, the Tate and the Matthew Marks Gallery and always liked the people photos, like the ones of the exchanges/concerts/etc, much more.

See: Singapore Stock Exchange, Chicago Board of Trade, Tokyo Stock Exchange.
