The Scream is the popular name given to multiple versions of a composition by Norwegian Expressionist artist Edvard Munch between 1893 and 1910. The German title Munch gave these works is Der Schrei der Natur (The Scream of Nature). The works show a figure with an agonized expression against a landscape with a tumultuous orange sky. Arthur Lubow has described The Scream as “an icon of modern art, a Mona Lisa for our time.”
The coin is large for two ounces of silver, at 65 mm in diameter, and has a clean reverse face, the only inscriptions residing in the incomplete part of the puzzle. Unusually, the missing coloured section is found on the otherwise antiqued obverse, and the mirrored image of the artwork is a neat touch. All told, another fine entrant into the series. It comes boxed with a Certificate of Authenticity, and the mintage is set at 340 pieces. It should be available shortly from the distributor, Intercoins Berlin, and other stockists.
