You can simply write the data to a PICT file. Eg:

#################
tell application "iTunes" to ¬
    set pictData to data of artwork 1 of track 1 of playlist 1

set outputFile to (choose file name default name "artwork.pict")
do shell script "touch " & quoted form of POSIX path of outputFile
set fref to (open for access outputFile with write permission)
set eof of fref to 0 --> empty file if needed
write pictData to fref
close access fref
#################

Thanks! It work!
Before it I saw the JPEG signature or the PNG signature in the text of written files and I tried to save and to open it as the JPEG or PNG file respectively. ;)

If, in fact, you want this image to be served on the web you'll need to convert it to one of those. To do this you could use something like the following snippet with GraphicConverter (assuming p contains the PICT image)::


 set the clipboard to p

 tell application "GraphicConverter"
	set xw to new image from clipboard without messages
	save xw in filename as GIF with wwwready and replacing without messages
	close window 1 without saving
 end tell
