The art world 'Screams'... is it worth $120 million?

Why yes, it is. Value in the art world is all about perception and desire. Art sales depend on us artists -and the galleries which sell our art- to sell perception. Often that can be an emotional connection to a painting or sculpture. Buyers don't care how much our materials were, or how late we stayed up to finish the work. They care about what the art says to them.

 I'm sure the person who bought this piece is thrilled to own such a recognizable  piece of history and culture!
