The two painting which were stolen and recovered two years later in 2006, have undergone an extensive programme of damage repair. They are now the subject of a special exhibition focussing on the context of the two paintings within Munch’s oeuvre as well as the conservation and restoration processes. The Museum is publishing a booklet in Norwegian, English and Japanese to accompany the exhibition

Munch’s 1902 version of Pikene på Broen (The Girls on the Bridge), attracted a lot of bidders at Sotheby’s sale in New York on May 7, 2008. It finally sold for $30.8 million, well above its estimate and a world record.  It was sold by Graham Kirkham,  the founder of DFS Furniture, and has risen substantially in price since selling at auction  in 1980 for $2.8. Mr Kirkham bought it  for $7.2 million in 1996.
