Public Note:

This is a revised edition of the catalogue issued in 2001 (cited in this database) co-published by Orfeus Publishing, Oslo and Philip Wilson, London and New York (distributed in USA & Canada by Palgrave Macmillan).
Munch's graphic output over 50 years was huge (c. 20,000-25,000 impressions) and this study provides detailed information on the entire oeuvre, including hectographs, posthumous restrikes, facsimiles, reproductions, fakes, etc, and publications containing originals. The catalogue also includes a list of institutions holding Munch's works, and a list of the prints following Schiefler.
