Norwegian paintings sell like hot cakes

Norwegian artists made up the largest component of the Scandinavian sale at one of London’s most prestigious auction houses on 27 June. Among the works which sold for over their pre-sale estimates were masterpieces by major names such as Edvard Munch, Thomas Fearnley, Peder Balke, Frits Thaulow and Odd Nerdrum.

The Norwegian police has found the two paintings "The Scream" and "Madonna" that were stolen more than two years ago from the Munch Museum in Oslo. The recovered paintings were found with some minor damages, but are in a much better condition than previously feared.

The greatest collection of works by Edvard Munch ever to appear for sale on the international market was sold for nearly £17 million at Sotheby’s Impressionist and Modern Art sales on 7 February.

The Royal Academy of Arts is hosting a series of lectures in connection with its 'Edvard Munch by Himself' exhibition which currently runs in London.

Two armed men entered the Munch Museum in Oslo on Sunday 22 August and stole the world-famous masterpieces "Skrik" (The Scream) and "Madonna".

It might not be for everyone's wallet, but if you have a few quid to spare you could secure yourself a piece of Norwegian art history at this year's Scandinavian Sale at the London auction house Sotheby's.

The captivating work of J C Dahl, one of the 19th century’s finest landscape painters, is the focus of this season’s major exhibition at the Barber Institute of Fine Arts in Birmingham.

Since the robbery of the Munch Museum on 22 August 2004, the museum has been closed for security improvements and reconstruction, but on 18 June the museum reopened to the public with the exhibition Munch by Himself, a comprehensive presentation of Edvard Munch’s self-portraits
