I created my own holiday cards this week. The cover has a picture of a rosebud covered in ice that I took in January.

News? / "The Scream" (1 of 4 versions) sold at auction for record price
« on: May 03, 2012, 01:50:43 PM »
Painting 'The Scream' sells for record $120 million at auction
By Chris Michaud , Reuters
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.
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.
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.
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.
The sales room at Sotheby's erupted in applause and cheering when the hammer came down. The buyer, who won the auction via telephone bidding, was not identified by Sotheby's.
In recent decades "The Scream," a picture of a person with hands pressed to head against a backdrop of swirling vibrant colors, has become a ubiquitous image, appropriated for everything from coffee mugs to editorial cartoons. For many mainstream art lovers, it is perhaps second in familiarity only to the "Mona Lisa" and is certainly among the best-known works of art still in private hands.
Three other images of "The Scream," including two which were stolen and later recovered, are in museums in Norway.
Overall, the Sotheby's auction brought in $330.6 million and 80 percent of the lots on offer were sold. It was Sotheby's highest total ever for an Impressionist and Modern Art auction.
Picasso's "Femme assise dans un fauteuil" sold for $29.2 million, Miro's "Tete humaine" went under the hammer at $14.86 million and Dali's "Printemps necrophilique" was auctioned at $16.3 million. All those prices included sales commission.

I believe the plural would meat loaves.
There were a few nice pieces. I liked one yellow painting that had the word Vicious written on it, but I didn't catch who made it (on the men's team).

Very pretty, Jennifer! I really like this one! I love the idea of mail art, and recycling old pieces of mail.
I know you said that sometimes you start doing artwork to get over your creator's block, but do these mail art pieces have any meaning behind them? For example, is there a reason why you chose the photos you did, the ballerina slippers, cameo, etc.? I always find it fascinating when people use found objects to tell a specific story. Or do you just choose the objects because you feel they look the best with the mail and other materials you are using?

I've been out of the loop here for a while, Jennifer. So sorry to hear about Neal's health. I certainly hope you two can get away for a trip, perhaps later in the summer. You both deserve it after all this!
I like your last painting. You did a very nice self-portrait. Thanks for the explanation too. It's always nice hear about what's going on in the painting and why you created it.

hi amy-i'm delighted that you like it. but...i'm a tad confused..what makes you think it's new york??
Oh dear! I must have read "new work" too quickly and thought it said "New York." Oh well, the madness does remind me of the dark side of New York. The piece is very clever.

I like this painting, Ev! It sounds like just the types of painting I like--with thick brush strokes and lots of bright color! It looks like it may have some sparkle to it.
Jesse and I have been wondering how you are doing. Please continue to keep painting, and don't let things get you down.

Thanks for posting these, Barry! The photo shoot was fun! It's hard to hold a pose and smile for so long, but these shots are worth it! I liked how you told us exactly what you were doing, each step of the way. It helped me feel more involved and it definitely made me appreciate this time-consuming process even more. Great job!
