There are also pencil studies for the artwork.<br /><br />It's interesting that the other colour versions are:<br />EITHER tempera and crayon on cardboard<br />OR pastel<br />ie no oil paint in sight!Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-77003703185567701212012-05-06T08:01:44.604+00:002012-05-06T08:01:44.604+00:00....which means last week it was worth c.$120 mill.......which means last week it was worth c.$120 million!<br /><br />It's difficult to think of another artwork which is so well known, has iconic status, is not in a museum already and comes to market for the very first time since it was created.<br /><br />I guess if there were one then it too would generate an astronomical value. There just aren't that many iconic paintings by dead artists still in private hands.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-89273745277807591442012-05-06T02:51:42.883+00:002012-05-06T02:51:42.883+00:00It's worth only as much as its resale value.It's worth only as much as its resale value.Parkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17581208018640652394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-87316345467517991222012-05-05T17:03:55.256+00:002012-05-05T17:03:55.256+00:00I'm not sure about the sums of money that have...I'm not sure about the sums of money that have been offered for this painting - is it really worth that much!? But if there are people who are willing to spend that much, then lets say it is...<br /><br />It is also interesting to see that the symbolic meaning, that at the beginning of the 20th century no doubt was hiding something completely different, is being adapted to the horrors of our generation - emissions of greenhouse gases! I guess it only proves that the painting will never go out of fashion and will allways incorporate human fears, whatever they evolve into.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-6167415479736661122012-05-05T12:34:12.017+00:002012-05-05T12:34:12.017+00:00It is amazing to see how the market can affect pri...It is amazing to see how the market can affect prices of famous artworks. <br />I believe that Munch also did a lithograph version of The Scream and possibly a woodcut too? I wonder if these will also increase in value now?northwoods trekkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585176900135133173noreply@blogger.com
