WHYS 30: Is any piece of art worth 120 million dollars?
Edvard Munch's iconic artwork 'The Scream' just sold for $120 million. We are asking is any work of art worth that sum of money?
The chatter this morning is about 'The Scream' by Edvard Moonk.
It went for 120 million dollars, a new record for a painting sold at an auction.
We're asking: Is any artwork worth that much? And how do put a value on something like this anyway?
Some of you say it's iconic, rare, a piece of history.
Others think it's an outrageous sum to pay and that buying art with a price tag like this is just another way to show you've made it.
