Paintings by Congo the chimpanzee sold at auction for more than $25,000 on Monday. Link. Excerpt:
The three abstract, tempera paintings were auctioned at Bonhams in London alongside works by impressionist master Renoir and pop art provocateur Andy Warhol.
But while Warhol's and Renoir's work didn't sell, bidders lavished attention on Congo's paintings.
Fecal paintings, desecrated religious images. Now this. We're beginning to think all this modern art stuff ain't legit.
