You can generate iTunes.h using the following command:

sdef /Applications/iTunes.app | sdp -fh --basename iTunes

You can then use iTunes to get the current playing track:

#import "iTunes.h"

iTunesApplication *app = [SBApplication applicationWithBundleIdentifier:@"com.apple.iTunes"];
iTunesTrack *currentTrack = app.currentTrack;

Then get the album artwork for the current track:

SBElementArray *artworks = [currentTrack artworks];
iTunesArtwork *artwork = artworks[0];
