FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The artwork almost sold at $105 million before a late intervention saw the
bidding continue to $107 million. Once the ‘buyer’s premium’ is added the
sum becomes $119,922,500.
The masterpiece was put on the market by Petter Olsen, a Norwegian
businessman, whose family knew Munch and who have owned the portrait since
the 1930s.
There are four versions of The Scream created by Munch, three of which are in
museums. Two versions weren stolen while on display but have since been
recovered.
The version sold last night was the only one remaining in private hands and is
considered perhaps the most sought-after of the four because it contains a
poem about the work – written in the artist’s own hand – on the frame.
It reads: “I was walking along the road with two Friends / the Sun was setting
– The Sky turned a bloody red / And I felt a whiff of Melancholy – I stood /
Still, deathly tired – over the blue-black / Fjord and City hung Blood and
Tongues of Fire / My Friends walked on – I remained behind / – shivering
with Anxiety – I felt the great Scream in Nature – EM.”
The Scream is one of the world’s most iconic artworks. It inspired tributes
from other artists, including Andy Warhol. And it gave rise to the Scream
series of horror films in which the murderer wears a mask depicting the
screaming face.
