Modern Art Ain’t No Monkey Business

Congo: The Chimp ArtistBut that doesn’t exclude ‘em.

AFP reports: “Three paintings by a chimpanzee named Congo were sold at auction in London to an American buyer for a total of 14,400 pounds (26,250 dollars, 21,610 euros), many times the estimated price.”

Congo’s works went under the hammer in a sale that included works by French impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, French cubist Fernand Leger and US pop artist Andy Warhol.”

Congo’s work ain’t bad. But maybe a little overpriced.
