Roy Lichtenstein's "I Love Liberty"

Famed pop-artist Roy Lichtenstein's "I Love Liberty" sold for $49,000 at Freeman's Auctioneers in Philadelphia, where Lehman Brothers auctioned off $1.35 million worth of artwork that once adorned its corporate offices.

Some would say it's a bit ironic that "I Love Liberty" was the highest-selling piece of art at the auction (as big banks, like Lehman Brothers, have been chastised for their unjust ways and non-liberty invoking practices). However, the haters should seek some comfort in hearing that Lehman Brothers still owes nearly $250 billion to creditors (and that they are now devoid of their seemingly-priceless art collection).
