Munch, The Scream, Pastel on board, 1895 AT MOMA

2013-04-11 | 絵画
 MOMAでMunch The Scream, Pastel on board 1895,ムンク‐叫び‐を見ることができた。

 2012年5月のサザビーズのオークションで、$119Mで落札され、アートコレクションにおける世界一というオークションレコードを更新した作品。October 24, 2012–April 29, 2013の期間限定での個人コレクター(落札者は、Leon BlackというMOMA Board Memberとのこと。)からの貸与による公開ということだったので、ラッキーだった。MOMAの1室の中央に置かれ、他の多くのMunch作品(たとえばMelancholy 1891やMadonna 1895など)に取り囲まれるように展示されていた。

 他のバージョンのThe Screamとは、下記通りとのこと。

The Scream, the Prime version, tempera and crayon on board, 1893, National Gallery of Norway
The Scream, a preliminary sketch, pastel on board, 1893, the Munch Museum in Oslo
The Scream, a later version, tempera and oil on board, 1910, the Munch Museum in Oslo
The Scream, a lithograph, 1895

NEW YORK, 2 May 2012 – Auction history was made at Sotheby’s when Edvard Munch’s iconic masterpiece The Scream sold for $119,922,500 / £73,921,284 / €91,033,826 in New York, marking a new world record for any work of art at auction.

(中略)
The prime example of The Scream, worked in 1893 from tempera and crayon on board, is in the National Gallery of Norway; another pastel version from the same year is thought to be a preliminary sketch for the work, and is owned by the Munch Museum in Oslo; the version sold at Sotheby’s in May 2012 most closely follows the prime composition in the National Gallery; and a later version in tempera and oil on board, thought to be completed in 1910, is also in the collection of the Munch Museum. In addition, Munch created a lithograph of the image in 1895, which helped initiate the process of its mass proliferation.

The Scream was in the collection of the Olsen family for over 70 years. Thomas Olsen, scion of the great ship-owning dynasty, was a collector and supporter of Munch from the late 1920s. Olsen and the artist were neighbors at Hvitsten in Norway, where the young businessman's role grew from friend to patron and eventually to protector of his works.

Edvard Munch’s iconic The Scream (1895), among the most celebrated and recognized images in art history, will be on view at The Museum of Modern Art for a period of six months. 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.

Courtesy of its new owner, it will remain on view in the fifth-floor painting and sculpture galleries for the next six months. (The purchaser’s identity is an open secret in the art world; numerous unconfirmed reports name the financier and MoMA board member Leon Black.
