The marketplace for art and its values has always puzzled me...

A 75 million dollar gasp was heard
around the world
When someone stole 'The Scream' from the Munch Museum

The 'Madonna', sweet and reverent, hardly made a mention
So much for the hours of faith and devotion
Munch shed onto the canvas, blood sweat and tears his absolution

Now, another theft of his sacrifice: 'Blue Dress'
And the blue-blooded ink runs off the presses of today's news

'Self-Portrait' valued at a mere 170,000 and 2 lithos of "little consequence"
Were pryed from the walls of a hotel restaurant, while patrons cryed at the sacrilege

When police gave chase and smashed into the assailant's car, the game ended
But the papers report that, despite broken glass, the artwork was unharmed...
