99 Cents Only!

The best use of an Andreas Gursky photo ever?

From the 99 Cent Stores' website: "Renowned photographer Andreas Gursky describes his famous '99 Cent' photo as aisles of brightly packaged merchandise fused into a perfectly ordered whole. This 11 by 7 foot photo has been displayed in the New York Museum of Modern Art, as well as museums in Paris, London, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. It was taken in 1999 at the 99ยข Only Stores located on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California. This photograph recently sold for over $1,999,999!"

Personally, I really love the fact that Gursky let them use the photo. That's quite a way to give back.
