"The Scream" at the MoMA

                The most expensive piece of artwork ever sold at an auction was one version of Munch’s “The Scream”. It sold for 120 million dollars this past May at Sotheby’s. The owner is lending it to the Museum of Modern Art, or MoMA, on October 24^th. It will be on display for duration of six months. This painting is a symbol for anguish and terror. The four versions of the scream were painted from 1893-1910. The other three are located in Norwegian museums. This particular painting, going on display, is the most colorful and has a frame with a poem painted on by the artist, Munch. You can view this painting from October 24^th- April 29^th on the museum’s fifth floor.
