Great links this week. Please tuck in: I’m still not entirely sure what SOPA is, but I vehemently oppose it.

Vienna was fun, but more on that later. Here are some links I’ve been catching up with: Check this photo on Hyperallergic and I’m sure you’ll agree, this woman really looks like a public menace. No wonder the cop is using pepper spray. I may be late to this, but if police can use said …

Internet: scoured, or at least partially. Hope you enjoy this week’s art-related links: The world’s most expensive photograph reached £2.7 million at Christies. The Guardian seemed surprised it wasn’t a classic Kodak moment. Meanwhile the world’s most expensive exhibition (surely) has already sold out its run at The National Gallery.
