Remember when Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” managed to bring in a record-breaking sum of $119.9 million at auction? That happened back in 2012, and it looks like yet another Munch painting is about to perform a similar feat. This time around, we’re talking about Girls on the Bridge, which was painted in 1902. The painting will be put under the hammer by Sotheby’s as part of the evening sale of Impressionist and Modern Art, an event that’s set to take place on November 14, 2016.
Even though it likely won’t be the most expensive painting ever sold, Girls on the Bridge is still estimated at about $50 million, and it could very well exceed this mark.
