May 2010 be wiser for all
Further proving that 2009 was the year we lost our collective sanity (or was it `08 and we just paid for it in `09?), the 3rd highest price fetched at auction for a photograph last year was for this utterly dull photo by Canadian west coast photographer, Jeff Wall. One of an edition of two, it sold for a remarkable $770,500.

"utterly dull"
That's how I'd describe almost all of Wall's photography; I just don't see why he's so important/popular.
I'd say more like overhyped and overly heady. Some of it's really nice, though you could take the same shot in a week vs. 9 months. He loves to talk about his process, which overshadows his images, IMO.
