Forgot about The Last Supper. Think that would be #1, then the Mona Lisa. For me, both are loathsome. Yuck.

I'm with Underhill: Van Gogh's Sunflowers or Starry Night.

What about Picasso's 3 musicians?

Cold, you're back!?

What about Monet's Water Lillies? Surely well known.

I volunteer with a program called Art
Goes to School, and I am surprised at how many kids recognize the Mona Lisa, Starry Night and David.

OK, if I must. I nominate Marcel Duchamp's Fountain since men see them more often than other work of art.

The Scream probably would not qualify because not enough "ordinary" people would recognize them>

but that is the point - zillions of folks actually do recognize the Scream things from the Jason films where the mask is from the Scream and as someone said the thefts also make them famous.
