Candidate passages:
The 1895 pastel-on-board version of the painting, owned by Norwegian businessman Petter Olsen, sold at Sotheby's for a record US$120 million at auction on 2 May 2012.
The bidding started at $40 million and lasted for over 12 minutes when Leon Black by phone gave the final offer of US$119,922,500, including the buyer's premium.
Sotheby's said the painting was the most colorful and vibrant of the four versions painted by Munch and the only version whose frame was hand-painted by the artist to include his poem, detailing the work's inspiration.
After the sale, Sotheby's auctioneer Tobias Meyer said the painting was "worth every penny", adding: "It is one of the great icons of art in the world and whoever bought it should be congratulated.
"The previous record for the most expensive work of art sold at auction had been held by Picasso's "Nude, Green Leaves and Bust", which went for US$106.5 million at Christie's two years prior on 4 May 2010.
When accounting for inflation, the highest price paid for art at an auction is still held by Van Gogh's "Portrait of Dr. Gachet", which sold for $82.5 million in 1990, or about $ million 2012 dollars.
There have been reports that "The Card Players", by Cézanne, sold privately for $250m in 2011, which can not be verified for the establishment of a record price.
Ruprecht started working for Sotheby's Holding inc. in 1981.
The reason he stated for working in Sotheby's in particular was he "wanted to move someplace that was warmer where there were more people".
He got involved with textiles and tapestries.
His area of expertise was Persian, Turkish and Chinese fabrics, textiles and rugs.
He led his first auction in 1984.
In 1986 Ruprecht became Director of Marketing at Sotheby's and in 1992 he was promoted to Director of Marketing worldwide.
He stayed in this position until February 1994.
From 1994 to February 2000 Ruprecht was Executive Vice President of Sotheby's inc. and Managing Director of Sotheby's North and South America.
Ruprecht became president and Chief executive officer of Sotheby's inc. in February 2000.
The previous president, Brookes, resigned following a price-fixing scandal between Sotheby's and rival auctioneer Christie's. 
The "Cubi" series is a group of stainless steel sculptures built from cubes, rectangular solids and cylinders with spheroidal or flat endcaps.
These pieces are among the last works completed by the sculptor David Smith.
The artist died in a car accident on May 23, 1965, soon after the completion of "Cubi XXVIII", which may or may not have been the last sculpture he intended to create in this series.
The "Cubis" are among Smith's final experiments in his progression toward a more simplified, abstract form of expression.
As an example of Modernism, these are representative of the monumental works in industrial materials that characterized much of the sculpture from this period.
Although the "Cubis" are abstract works composed of geometric shapes, they are ambiguously figural.
For example, the pictured "Cubi VI" appears to be standing on a pair of crossed legs.
Like many of the Abstract Expressionists, Smith possessed the ability to easily switch between an abstract and figurative style of working.
His process also involved going back and forth between the different stages of development within a certain style or serial group, as suggested by the "Cubis".
These sculptures were not completed in the order in which they are numbered, as revealed by the inscriptions (see below) that Smith welded onto the base of each.
Today, the majority of the "Cubi" works are part of well-known museum collections around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Modern in London, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
In 2005, "Cubi XXVIII" sold at Sotheby's for $23.8 million, breaking a record for the most expensive piece of contemporary art ever sold at auction.
"This exceedingly rare work was the pinnacle of a four-decade career," said Tobias Meyer, Sotheby's worldwide head of contemporary art and the auctioneer for the evening.

No.
5, 1948 is a painting by Jackson Pollock, an American painter known for his contributions to the abstract expressionist movement.
The painting was done on an 8' × 4' sheet of fiberboard, with thick amounts of brown and yellow paint drizzled on top of it, forming a nest-like appearance.
It was originally owned by Samuel Irving Newhouse, Jr. and displayed at the Museum of Modern Art before being sold to David Geffen and then allegedly to David Martinez in 2006 (though the supposed sale of this painting to Martinez has been denied by his attorneys).
According to a report in "The New York Times" on November 2, 2006, the painting was sold by David Geffen, founder of Geffen Records and co-founder of DreamWorks SKG, to David Martinez, managing partner of Fintech Advisory Ltd, in a private sale for a record inflation-adjusted price of $140 million.
The sale was reportedly brokered by Sotheby’s auctioneer Tobias Meyer, however, the law firm of Shearman & Sterling, LLP, issued a press release on behalf of its client, David Martinez, to announce that contrary to recent articles in the press, Martinez does not own the painting or any rights to acquire it.
It is speculated that Geffen sold the painting, along with two others, to raise enough funds to bid for the "Los Angeles Times".
Martinez has reportedly been amassing an art collection, buying multiple modern artworks in recent years.
This sale would make the painting the second most expensive ever sold, privately or at auction, exceeding the sale of Gustav Klimt's 1907 "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I" to Ronald Lauder, heir to the Estée Lauder Companies fortune, by around five million dollars, trailing only the sale of "The Card Players" to the Royal Family of Qatar reportedly for between $250 to $300 million.
David Cook, deputy director of painting at Sotheby's Australia, stated that the price of Pollock's paintings will continually rise in value, as very few of Pollock's paintings are still left.
Cook has also stated that another of Pollock's paintings, "Blue Poles", is worth at least 180 million AUD and possibly even more than "No.
5, 1948".
In addition to the refutation issued by Shearman & Sterling, the auction expert Josh Baer indicated that Martinez was not the buyer of the painting.
