P for Prices on Art

The Norwegian artist Edvard Munch's painting "Vampire" was sold for a record NOK 258 million (USD 38,162,500) at a Sotheby's auction in New York Monday. This was one of four original versions made by Munch between 1893 and 1894.
I am not the buyer!

However, when anemone was posting (Her post is later changed) about me making a painting (different motive I presume), and she got rid of a Dane called the Vampire, I just had to make my version of the famous man-eater.
It is Wednesday, and although we are today celebrating the 25 years since the first TX-Cor in Norway (previous post), many other ABC Wednesday = P can be found here.

Hei Arne!! så koselig det var å *se* seg.
Ja det er godt å leve...men det er ikke hver dag det siste året jeg har syntes det, men sorg skal ikke være enkelt.

Så dette var bildet til Anemone ja, tenker det passet til det første innlegget..:-)
Ha en strålende dag.

Is this the same artist who painted"The Scream" ? I adore that painting, just understand the feelings behind it!

He he... er det virkelig verd alle de millionene tro??

Allikevel sitter jeg her å små ler litt av det paret som hadde "Skrik" klistret under et slitt trak bord fra 70 tallet.
herre gud som de siket har humret i skjegget.

Nei, en halvirriterende og gal trønderkjærring hostende i whisky rus hadde nok ikke gjort den samme nytten hos Sotherby`s nei desverre.

Both of your P posts are wonderful. You did a good job on the painting, and what a great thing to celebrate - the 25th anniversary of the "prolongation of life"!
