NEW YORK, NY.- Edvard Munch's iconic The Scream (1895), among the most celebrated and recognized images in art history, will go on view at The Museum of Modern Art for a period of six months beginning October 24. Of the four versions of The Scream made by Munch between 1893 and 1910, this pastel-on-board from 1895 is the only one remaining in private hands. The three other versions are in the collections of museums in Norway. The Scream is being lent by a private collector, and will be on view at MoMA through April 29, 2013. "As an iconic image, The Scream has garnered worldwide attention for its stark portrayal of the human condition," said Glenn D. Lowry, Director of The Museum of Modern Art. "For the Museum's visitors, this will be a rare opportunity to see this extraordinary work of art." "The startling power of Munch's original work endures almost despite the image's present-day ubiquity," noted Ann Temkin, The Marie-Jose |
