Edvard Munch painting could fetch $50M at Sotheby’s
NEW YORK — A work by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch is poised to sell for more than $50 million at Sotheby’s auction of impressionist and modern art.
“Girls on the Bridge,” a seminal work from 1902, depicts a cluster of girls huddled on a bridge in a country village. It sold in 1996 for $7.7 million and again in 2008 for $30.8 million, each time setting a record for the artist.
The auction is scheduled for Monday evening in New York City.
