Sotheby's London has put on show this pastel version of Edvard Munch's The Scream (1895), estimated value £50m ($80m). This is the only privately owned of the four versions of the painting, which will be auctioned at Sotheby's New York on 2 May. BBC News got terribly excited and sent David Sillito along to Sotheby's to make a video (title link). By the way, the scream isn't from the man, but from Nature being destroyed by Man (by Woman too).
