Munch’s ‘Scream’ SOLD – 119.9 Million Dollars

This entry was posted in Racing on by .

Yesterday, Munch’s Scream sold for a record for a piece of artwork, $119.9 million dollars. That seems like an incredible amount of money on one hand and really not that much on the other. Money is just like trading beads, or whatever, for something more desired. It is a way that humans have come up with to put a value on different items. Sometimes someone gets way too many beads and uses them for silly purposes. (Not saying this was a silly purpose.) For me it is hard to believe that this piece of art sold for more than any other piece of art in all history. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
