« The Scream » by Edvard Munch is unquestionably a piece of art.
But it is profoundly disharmonious. One might say a reflection of the times.
No sane person would want such a picture hanging in his home. It would fill the place with negative vibes.
Some rich people don’t see things that way though.
Here is the recent auction at Sotheby’s:
And this was the auction at Christie’s in 2010 where Picasso’s “Nude, green leaves and bust” sold for a slightly lower price.
Funny, I find the Picasso nicer, if still not completely harmonious.
But I haven’t got $95 million. Who cares? Somewhere down the line banks’ little IOU’s will have lost all value. And so will ugly pieces of art.
Fear not, go for genuine beauty.
Love,
Leo
