The famous Edvard Munch painting “The Scream” sold at auction for nearly $120 million Wednesday, becoming the most expensive piece of art ever sold.   The buyer plans to make his money back by rendering the painting in HD.

An upset Mona Lisa denied being jealous, saying, “I’m worth as much as you if not more, Scream, except I don’t sell myself for money like a whore.”

A NYU art professor surgically attached a camera to the back of his head to automatically photograph what’s behind him for a year-long art project. This is the kind of art that provokes difficult questions, such as “You never heard of Velcro?”

Though the surgical aspect of this story is disturbing to some, what’s really going to frustrate the professor at the end of the year is that when he started, he forgot to take off the lens cap.
