A pastel version of "The scream" by Edvard Munch was sold for nearly $120 million from an anonymous buyer Wednesday at Sotheby's in New York- setting a new world record for a work of art sold at an auction. The pastel-on-board also remains in its original frame and had a presale estimate of at least $80 million- and had also been the highest ever listed at Sotheby's and it sold for $119,922,500 (which includes the premium paid to Sotheby's)
