Painting 'The Scream' sells for record $120 million at auction

Human insanity... can always be revealed and measured by its capacity and willingness to waste vast ammount of resources and money on crap, trivia and artifice.

So who ever brought it..like so many other artificially judged and inflated - supposedly valueable pieces of crap (oh I mean art LOL) out there ..is criminally insane.

meanwhile...millions of people starve

Only a complete idiot would give 120 million for paint on a piece of canvas.

I always liked that painting. Some folks may have trouble justifying the value. Art is subjective and value is based on many things.

I say it was a great deal!

oops..damn fat fingers..uh that was $120,000. my bad

Do you know the commission on the back end of a deal like that?

Sotheby's should be commended,as well as Stephan Connery,son of 007, who brokers all the major Impressionist sales at the spring auctions, that guy rakes because he shreds at what he does, you are all just jealous,as am I.......

It is a signal - TPTB buy and sell this sht between themselves (duh, who else could bid?) Haven't had time nor the desire to trace what signal they are sending, but basically, it means the next step to their plan has now been accomplished, now the next move is up to you - that would be the TPTB that is instructed to act when he receives information of a signal event - otherwise, they just are passing money amongst themselves building non profit meuseums to elevate themselves to their godhood stature, nah, I don't think so.

It is an okay painting, good as in the eye of the beholder

all usage of money is a waste.

once human energy has been converted into money, it's already wasted.
