Screaming for a Record Auction


The greatest work of Edvard Munch's life has been sold for a record $120 million at Sotheby's New York. The Scream has been well-identified with Munch and the expressionist art of the late 19th century.  The record auction ranks as one of the most expensive paintings ever.

Well, a little to ponder about art, especially relating to the iconic slapstick comedy character Mr. Bean. Here's one scene from 1997's Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie may relate to our art sensibilities.


And another Mr. Bean moment, this time in the live-action television series.


And another Bean moment in animated form.


Well Bean, it looks like you don't need to worry about The Scream or any other artwork.
