This is "Etappe," by the artist Neo Rauch. If you want to see this painting in the flesh now, you will have to visit Brad Pitt, because he bought it for $956,000. It is allegedly a depiction of an auto-race. I guess that red thing is a car, but why are those other two dudes pulling a rainbow out of it? I don't know much about cars, but I do know that if you open them, you will not find anything Judy Garland wanted to get over. You will instead find a whole jumble of incomprehensible components, any one of which could fail at any time, leaving you stranded by the side of a country highway with no one to save you but a stocky dude in bib overalls who keeps looking at your crotch and humming. I think Brad may have gotten took, but then again, I know nothing about art.
