In the Studio: Munch on the move

The art exhibition Edvard Munch: Trembling Earth starts in Massachusetts, then moves to Germany and Norway. But how do you take art worth millions to both sides of the Atlantic?

The Norwegian artist Edvard Munch is best known for his expressionist painting The Scream. A pastel version of it fetched $ 120 million when it was last auctioned in 2012, making it the most expensive piece of art ever sold at an auction. The art exhibition Edvard Munch: Trembling, shifts the focus to his landscape paintings, revealing a very different side of the artist and showing the vivid colours he used. Presenting this exhibition on both sides of the Atlantic - in the US, then in Germany and Norway - makes the show open up to a wider audience. But what does it take for an exhibition to go on a journey? The Museum Barberini in Potsdam, Germany grants the 成人论坛 exclusive access to witness what happens behind closed doors, when art works worth millions move across countries.
