Wow! Considering it is right up there with the Mona Lisa in best known imagery, £50k is cheap.

Re: Iconic images
But what are the V&A actually getting for their 50k?
What exactly is it that's worth 50 grand of public money that can't be had just down the road on Kensington High Street for a couple of quid? |

Re: Iconic images
Good thread , not sure what its worth (copyright may be worth more) but this photograph taken of Che Guevara by Alberto Korda is certainly iconic

I think mine would be the Audry Hepburn picture (my heroine!) although the Andy Warhol Marilyn Munroe has to be pretty iconic too
Love that picture of Che - he does look handsome in that ! |

Love that picture of Che - he does look handsome in that ! I love the Che photo , but i'm unsure why . I think its the look of vision & hope that he seems to express in it . |

Re: Iconic images
I heard it was staged but never mind, still a good one

Re: Iconic images
This one's not bad either, a little over-used ( no pun intended) but that makes it iconic I guess

Re: Iconic images
That first one just made me cry - don't care who's side you're on the sheer fear and desperation in those kids faces (and indeed those in any war pics) is truly heartbreaking :(
