卖价1.19亿的《呐喊》果然让人“呐喊”

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.
当《呐喊》拍卖会最后落锤时，苏富比拍卖室爆出了雷鸣的掌声和欢呼声。但因买家是通过电话竞价赢得此次拍卖，其身份不能被苏富比拍卖行识别。

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.
近十年来，《呐喊》中的那个以扭曲的彩色线条为背景，用双手捂住耳朵的人物形象已经无处不在，从咖啡杯到漫画书，这一形象被广泛印制在各种物品上。

Three other images of "The Scream," including two which were stolen and later recovered, are in museums in Norway.
呐喊系列的另外3个版本包括曾经失窃后又失而复得的2个版本，均被收藏于挪威博物馆。
