Most expensive "photo copy" of an ad

Last night, Christies auctioned off a an untitled cowboy photograph by Richard Prince. It set a record at $12,238,000. Thing is this photograph is just a photo of an old Marlboro print advertisement (aka rephotograph). And there's folk out there who say people don't like advertisements. ;)
