This month, a photo taken in 1924 is set to go to auction and it is believed to be the highest-ever estimated value for a photograph.
The black-and-white image, taken by Man Ray, is called "Le violon d'ingres" and is expected to fetch from $5 million to $7 million at auction.
What makes it unique is that the American surrealist artist makes a woman's body into a violin by laying violin F-holes on her back — a sort of pre-Photoshop photo alteration.
The photo was owned by the former chairman and CEO of Saks Fifth Avenue, Melvin Jacobs and his wife, Rosalind Gersten Jacobs, a Macy's executive, both now deceased. It is offered for auction by their daughter.
