EDVARD Munch’s masterpiece “The Scream,” one of the world’s most recognisable works of art, sold for $120m (£74m) at Sotheby’s on Wednesday night, setting a new record as the most expensive piece of art ever sold at auction. A so-far anonymous telephone bidder secured the vibrant painting after a near 15-minute bidding war.
