Dowbrigade

Of
course, everybody has seen this painting, if only in their nightmares.
But it’s in the news because it’s been stolen from a museum in Oslo,
along with another work by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch.

So the Dowbrigade would like to collaborate with a sort
of Fine Arts Global Amber Alert. This case goes to the point of the old
adage that some art is invaluable in both senses of the word.
That is, they are so famous that they literally have no value to a thief
in that
they cannot be sold or shown to anyone without immediate risk of apprehension.

In any case, should you see this painting at auction,
or in some obscure gallery in South Boston, or on the wall of some local
college dorm, please contact this publication - we want an exclusive!

OSLO (Reuters) - Armed robbers stole a version of "The
Scream" and another masterpiece by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch
Sunday in a bold daytime raid on an Oslo museum packed with terrified
tourists.

Two masked robbers ran into the Munch Museum, threatened staff with a gun and
forced people to lie down before taking "The Scream," an icon of existentialist
angst showing a waif-like figure against a blood-red sky, and "Madonna."
