Abstract

Norwegian shipping heir and art enthusiast Petter Olsen, who was recently declared bankrupt, is selling one of Norway's largest collections of Edvard Munch paintings. The collection includes several self-portraits of the famous Norwegian painter, although his most famous work, "The Scream," is not part of the sale. The Munch museum in Oslo has expressed interest in the paintings but currently lacks the budget to purchase them. Olsen's bankruptcy is attributed to loss-making real estate investments and tax claims. [Extracted from the article]
