====================================================== 
   Actually the knock down price of the van Gogh was 75 million und you
   must take into consideration that Vincent never sold one of his pictures
   in his whole lifetime - probably because peoples said "NO LEICA".
   
   Today one can buy an excellente book of photographs by Ted Grant for
   about half of the price I paid for a Swiss printed book of van Gogh art!
   but that doesn't make Ted photos to be of lesser aesthetic value than
   van Goghs.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder & frankly I used to 
   have posters of Teds famous "Johnsons V at the finish" as well as a
   print of "Starry Night" on my wall.
