On May 2, 2012, Edvard Munch's "The Scream" sold for $119,922,500 at Sotheby's with the help of their principle auctioneer, Tobias Meyer. He said about the sale, "I feel elated!" and told the interviewer that his job is similar to surfing. The final bid came from an anonymous caller and the purchase broke the world record for the most expensive painting ever auctioned at the time.
