How Much is a The Scream?

Munch recalled his inspiration in a January 22, 1892, diary entry: “I was walking along the road with two friends — the sun went down — I felt a gust of melancholy — suddenly the sky turned a bloody red. I stopped, leaned against the railing, tired to death — as the flaming skies hung like blood and sword over the blue-black fjord and the city — my friends went on — I stood there trembling with anxiety — and I felt a vast infinite scream through nature.” Many people associate the image with a feeling of anxiety, interpreting it as representing how the world appears to someone experiencing this emotion. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of Edvard Munch art.
