The Scream, painted by Edward Munch was sold for how much?

Question

Norwegian billionaire Petter Olsen is the only private entity that holds a version of this painting. I was just wondering how much he paid for it and how much is it worth right now.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I know in March 1994, it got pinched. The gallery where it was pinched from received a £700,000 ($1m) ransom demand for the painting. So am guessing alot.

The director of the museum, Knut Berg, said, "It is impossible to estimate the value of the painting.

"But it is Norway's most valuable, Munch's most renowned, and it would be impossible to sell."
