All art is the same...talent is talent! Yet it seems that one out of the three doesn't qualify.

I’m not a huge fan of “modern” art, but this is iconic and really sums up the century that had not yet started when this was created. I don’t think $80M is out of line.

I thought it was entitled “Obama Announces Re-Election Bid.”

This is a non painted version and there are several versions....according to wiki. The Scream (Norwegian: Skrik) is a series of Expressionist paintings and prints created by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch between 1893 and 1910, showing an agonized figure against a red sky. The landscape in the background is the Oslofjord, viewed from Ekeberg, Oslo. Edvard Munch created several versions of The Scream in various media. The National Gallery, Oslo holds one of two painted versions (1893, shown). The Munch Museum holds the other painted version (1910, see gallery) and one pastel. A fourth version (1895), in pastel, is owned by Norwegian businessman Petter Olsen, and will be offered at auction on May 2, 2012.[1] Experts estimate that the painting could sell for as much as $80 million. Munch also created a lithograph of the image in 1895.[2] The Scream has been the target of several high-profile art thefts. In 1994, the version in the National Gallery was stolen. It was recovered several months later. In 2004, The Scream and Madonna were stolen from the Munch Museum, and recovered two years later.
