Updated at 7:30 p.m. PT: NEW YORK -- Edvard Munch's painting "The Scream," one of the world's most recognizable works of art, sold for $120 million at Sotheby's on Wednesday, setting a new record as the most expensive piece of art ever sold at auction.
紐約時(shí)間下午7:30分—愛(ài)德華•蒙克(挪威畫(huà)家)的油畫(huà)作品《吶喊》——這幅在世界上認(rèn)可度最高的藝術(shù)作品于周三在蘇富比拍賣行以1.2億美元的價(jià)格拍出,并以拍賣史上最昂貴的藝術(shù)品創(chuàng)新拍賣紀(jì)錄。
The sale at Sotheby's Impressionist and Modern Art auction featured other works by Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali and Joan Miro, but Munch's vibrant piece was the centerpiece of the auction in a salesroom packed with collectors, bidders and the media.
此次參與蘇富比印象主義和現(xiàn)代主義藝術(shù)品拍賣的拍品包括巴勃羅.畢加索,薩爾瓦多.達(dá)利以及胡安.米羅的作品,但其中蒙克的這幅富有生機(jī)的《吶喊》是此次拍賣的壓軸拍品。拍賣室中更是坐滿了各路收藏家,競(jìng)標(biāo)者和媒體人士。
The vibrant pastel from 1895 was conservatively estimated to sell for about $80 million at Sotheby's, but two determined bidders drove the final price to $107 million, or $119,922,500 including commission, during a 15-minute bidding war.
創(chuàng)作于1895年的這幅粉彩畫(huà)在蘇富比拍賣行保守估價(jià)為8000萬(wàn)美元,然而由于2位堅(jiān)決的競(jìng)標(biāo)者不斷競(jìng)價(jià),在短短15分鐘內(nèi)將最終價(jià)格推高到了1.07億美元或1.199225億美元含傭金。
One of four versions by the Scandinavian painter, which was being sold by Norwegian businessman Petter Olsen, "The Scream" easily eclipsed the old auction record held by Picasso's "Nude, Green Leaves and Bust," which went for $106.5 million at Christie's two years ago.
由這位北歐畫(huà)家所創(chuàng)作的《吶喊》系列共有四個(gè)版本,其中被挪威商人皮特•奧爾森售賣的這一版本的價(jià)格輕而易舉便超過(guò)了由畢加索的《裸體、綠葉和半身像》所保持的價(jià)格紀(jì)錄——兩年前這一作品在克利斯蒂拍賣行以1.065億美元成交。
