‘Girls on the Bridge’ painting could fetch $50M at Sotheby’s auction

The 1902 work by Edvard Munch, titled "Pikene på broen" by the Norwegian artist, shows girls huddled on the bridge of a country village. It will be sold at auction in New York on Nov. 14, and the auction house told The Associated Press that it expects the painting to sell for more than $50 million.

The painting sold in 1996 for $7.7 million and again in 2008 for $30.8 million, each time setting a record for the artist.
