| 1273363 | 2012-05-03 05:11:00 | Dateline New York, today ... An 1895 version of Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” has sold for almost $120m, breaking the record for an artwork sold at auction, the $106m paid in 2010 for Pablo Picasso’s “Nude, Green Leaves and Bust”. Over almost 10 tense minutes in a packed auction room at Sotheby’s in New York on Wednesday evening, bidding was dominated by two telephone bidders. The hammer came down at $107m, on top of which a bidder’s premium brought the aggregate price to $119.9m. The identity of the buyer was not immediately known. My ex was a screamer. I don't think she would have fetched as much though. :D |

| 1273367 | 2012-05-03 13:12:00 | I would not put it on my wall either. Looks like something a primary school kid would draw - good way of raising school funds maybe. | Bobh (5192) | ||
| 1273368 | 2012-05-03 21:15:00 | I'd be screaming if I had that on my wall. In disgust? I really can't see any attraction or artistic value in expressionist art |
