Knoedler & Co (Knoedler Gallery), New York, NY retaining their original gallery label on verso. Numbered/inscribed "No. 22" by Anton Peder Nielsen (who later took the family name Kildeborg) in pencil lower left. It is documented the edition was numbered by the printer up to at least "No. 25". Printed in black ink from a lithographic zinc plate (MM P 301). Louise (1896-1989) and Else (1898-1985) were the daughters of Hieronymus Heyerdahl (cf. cat. no. 554). Hieronymus Heyerdahl (1867-1959) was a Norwegian lawyer and local politician. He was a member of the Oslo City Council in 1911-1919 and 1923-1925. From 1912-1914, he was mayor of the city, and his experience of the anniversary celebration in 1914 led him to devote much time and energy towards getting Oslo a representative City Hall. Munch painted his portrait for the Gallery of Mayors in the Oslo City Hall, and two similar portraits (private collection and MM M 71). He also made two lithographic portraits (cat. nos. 599 and 600). Biography: Edvard Munch (12 December 1863 – 23 January 1944) was a Norwegian painter and printmaker whose intensely evocative treatment of psychological themes built upon some of the main tenets of late 19th-century Symbolism and greatly influenced German Expressionism in the early 20th century. One of his most well-known works is The Scream of 1893. Born in 1863 in Löten, Norway, famed painter Edvard Munch established a free-flowing, psychological-themed style all his own. His painting "The Scream" ("The Cry"; 1893), is one of the most recognizable works in the history of art. His later works proved to be less intense, but his earlier, darker paintings ensured his legacy. A testament to his importance, "The Scream" sold for more than $119 million in 2012—setting a new record.
