Dobbel verdensrekord for Munchs «Skrik»

Føler seg veldig heldig som har hatt en semi-privat meditasjon i Nasjonalgalleriet i Oslo med en av versjonene av Munchs «Skrik».

Dobbel verdensrekord for Munchs «Skrik»

‘Scream’ price may boost local pride

Oslo politicians have often been accused of failing to fully recognize the value of the art that their city inherited from the country’s most famous artist Edvard Munch, or even to properly care for it. They may snap to attention now, after a pastel version of Munch’s Skriket (The Scream) sold during the night for a world-record price of just under USD 120 million.

Artist Edvard Munch, photographed here in 1921
by legendary Norwegian photographer Anders
Beer Wilse, was often unhappy in Norway, but
left his own vast collection of his works to the
City of Oslo. Now hopes are rising that the city
will take better care of Munch's legacy.

Jeg synes godt at de skal beholde alle kunstverka og heller bare øke sikkerheta hvis de fortsetter å bli stjåli. :/ Oslo fikk dem i gave av Munch, tross alt.

Jeg kommer ikke over i-endingene dine Hadde det vært grammatisk rett å skrive dem, så

Litt sjukt at bildet gikk for så mye. Hehe, jeg har alltid sett for meg at Edvard Munch sjøl ser ut som figuren han malte i Skrik

‘Scream’ seller can avoid tax

Norwegian shipping heir Petter Olsen probably won’t have to pay any income or capital gains tax on last week’s sale of the famed Edvard Munch painting he inherited, Skriket (The Scream). That means he likely can keep or re-invest most of the NOK 600 million (around USD 105 million) he stands to collect on the sale, with much of it already earmarked for a new gallery to house his still-sizeable private collection of local art by Munch and other artists.
