Munch Paintings Recovered
August 31, 2006 · Print This Article
After 2 years of searching throughout Europe, Edvard Munch’s two paintings, “The Scream” (one of many editions) and “Madonna” have been recovered, found in an undisclosed location somewhere in Norway.
More surprising then the fact that the works were found in Norway (rumor has it in Oslo itself) they are in surprisingly good shape considering the destructive manor in which the works were ripped from the wall, kicked from their frame & thrown in a car.
Even less known is that the only damage was to “Madonna” when one of the thieves poked a hole in the mouth area and proceeded to tell his friend in the back seat in Norwegian “Hey Mikey. give me a wet lickery kiss!”

Anyway. 52 weeks worth of shows. Damn.
“We’re not the first,
I hope we’re not the last
‘Cause I know we’re all heading
for that adult crash The times is so little,
the time belongs to us
Why is everybody in such a fucking rush?
Make do with what you have
Take what you can get
Pay no mind to us
We’re just a minor threat
We’re just a minor threat”
