An auction of paintings by Congo the chimpanzee have sold at auction in London for more than $25,000. “Congo, born in 1954, produced about 400 drawings and paintings between ages 2 and 4. He died in 1964 of tuberculosis. The three abstract, tempera paintings were auctioned at Bonhams in London alongside works by impressionist master Renoir and pop art provocateur Andy Warhol. But while Warhol’s and Renoir’s work didn’t sell, bidders lavished attention on Congo’s paintings.”
