Title: Edvard Munch's The Scream comes to London
Subject: One of the famous paintings “The Scream” is
for sale.
Date: April 12
Author: Mark Brown
Summary:
One of the four original pieces of Edvard Munch’s The Scream will be for sale next month. Munch painted four versions of The Scream, but the other three are all in museums, so this is the only one for sale. It is the first time that this piece of art is for public display in the United Kingdom. It is hard to predict for how much this work will sell. Specialists estimate it to be worth 80 million dollar, but it could be a lot more. The piece will be sold on May 2 at Sotheby’s in New York.

The Scream is an amazing work of art, all four of
them. To have one of the originals as part of your own collection is a dream
come through. The idea that someone will actually buy this piece and take it
home is crazy, but also wonderful. I do like art to be in museums, where
everyone can enjoy it, but it also feels strangely surreal and terrific that
every once in a while you can buy famous and beautiful art just for you. It is
a shame I do not have 80 million dollar.

hmmmm 80 million dollar
ReplyDeleteThey are all four very powerful paintings. It is no surprise that even specialists can not estimate how much it will go for. I however would not feel comfortable having one of them just for myself, but on the other hand it would be immeasurably amazing.
