(AP) - A painted woodcut by Edvard Munch from 1899 is auctioned Monday night in Oslo, Monday, Nov. 13 2006. The rare painted woodcut sold for 8.1 million kroner (euro990,000; US$1.27 million) at auction Monday , a record price for a Munch woodcut, organizers said. The 1899 woodcut - 'Two people: the lonely ones' - depicts a man and a woman standing on a beach contemplating a yellow moon. The artwork, painted blue, orange and yellow, is prized among the Norwegian artist's works because it is exceptionally well preserved, said auction organizer Martin Biehl.
