The 1893 painting
The 1893 pastel
The 1895 pastel
The 1910 painting
The 1895 pastel of 'The Scream' by Edvard Munch has just been sold at Sotheby's for nearly $120 million. It's certainly an iconic painting, but l hate to think how much it would have sold for if there was only one of them, instead of the four. I also think it's a shame when items like this disappear into private collections, where the public don't get to see them. Saying that, if l was loaded, l'd buy all sorts of stuff and stash it away, well out of the way of Joe Public. Methinks it's just other rich people owning them that l don't like. Gits.
Anyway, l prefer the 1893 painting at the top.
