The only privately-owned version of Edvard Munch’s classic masterpiece The Scream has fetched a record-breaking 119.9 million US dollars (£74 million) at auction. The famous image, which features a haunted figure in front of a red backdrop, surpassed estimates to become the most expensive work of art to be sold at auction following the sale in New York. It is one of four versions created by the Norwegian expressionist painter.
The famous picture was created in 1885 and is the only version with a frame hand-painted by Munch which includes a poem explaining his inspiration for the piece. It is also the only version in which one of the two figures in the background turns to look outward onto the cityscape.Continue reading on BBC.
Hey,
Firstly, YES, the whole floaters situation has gotten better for me. It’s been several months since I’ve written those journals about my experiences with eye floaters, but since that time I’ve been to a bunch of different eye doctors and all of them have said it’s impossible to remove floaters without surgery. Apparently, that’s true, they just get better on their own.
I’ve taken a lot of fish oil supplements, and I feel it’s helped with my overall eye health. Try not to strain your eyes while you’re working or on the computer. I remember my floaters getting a whole lot worse during AP and SAT months. Give your eyes a break once in a while.
And secondly, thanks so much for your message! It really means a lot to me. I can totally relate. I used to feel like my floaters have taken away the joy of being outside in the sun…(I used to take walks in the night a lot just to be outside). I also remember my floaters being so bad I couldn’t even shoot a basketball properly on an outside court.
I’m so grateful to say that’s no longer a problem. I’m able to dish in my shots again; nothing but net.
I can definitely say that having floaters really makes you appreciate your vision. It’s definitely tough to go through, but i promise it’ll get better in the long run. It might sound weird, but enjoy (the bumpy) ride until you get there.
