24 through April 29.
Bought by a private collector in May this year NY financier Leon Black paid $119.9 million for the art work, the highest price ever bid for a painting,
The pastel-on-board version owned by Black, painted in 1895, is one of four created by Munch between 1893 and 1910.

Lowry, Director of The Museum of Modern Art.
