Works by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch continue to attract record prices, but a print auctioned off in Oslo Monday evening created nothing short of a sensation.
Experts had expected that a five-colour print of Munch's To mennesker. De ensomme (Two people. The lonely) woodcut would set a new record, but auction officials were overwhelmed by the NOK 8.1 million (USD 1.26 million at the current exchange rate) paid after just a few minutes .
For what it is worth, it's too expensive. I have to work a little bit more to buy this painting...
