Chimp Tops Warhol

Paintings by a chimpanzee named Congo sold for more than $25,000 at auction earlier this month, while works by Andy Warhol and Renoir attracted so little attention they had to be withdrawn. The artworks were created by Congo in the late 1950s at the London Zoo. Pablo Picasso owned one of Congo's works and Salvidor Dali liked the chimp so much he proclaimed, "The hand of the chimpanzee is quasihuman; the hand of Jackson Pollock is totally animal!"

The article, "Get Up Off Your Knees: Bono Takes on the World," explores the faith of rock band U2's front man and his crusade against HIV/AIDS in Africa.
