Under the Hammer

Sold!

Mao Zedong, the founder of Communist China, is to fall victim to a distinctly capitalist tradition when his portrait goes up for auction next month.

The original model for the Mao painting that hung above Tiananmen Square is expected to fetch 1 million to 1.2 million yuan ($125,000 - $150,000) when it is sold through a Beijing auction house.

Excellent. I hope the old commie bastard is spinning in his grave.
