Hand-signed Hand-Embellished Lithograph Unique on Velin Arches Blanc 300gsm Paper by John Myatt.

In the 2026 chapter of The Masters Collection, internationally acclaimed former art forger John Myatt turns his attention to Edvard Munch, recreating one of the most psychologically powerful images in art history, ‘The Scream’.

Drawn to Munch’s raw, expressive language and his ability to visualise inner turmoil, Myatt has long regarded the artwork as one of the most important images of the modern age.

Created in 1893, ‘The Scream’ is an expression of overwhelming existential anxiety, with Munch himself describing the inspiration as a moment when “the enormous infinite scream of nature” passed through him. Set against a violently swirling sky, the central figure appears overwhelmed by sound and sensation, becoming both participant and victim in the emotional chaos of the scene.

A symbol of modern anxiety, the artwork reflects Munch’s belief that anguish and fear are fundamental aspects of the human condition. The unnatural colours, distorted perspective, and rhythmic lines are not intended to represent reality, but to externalise inner emotion.

Crafted with sensitivity and intent, balancing reverence and reinterpretation, Myatt’s recreation honours these principles, focusing on the tension between colour, movement, and psychological weight that makes the image so universally recognisable.

John Myatt approaches the work of Edvard Munch as an actor might approach a role, immersing himself fully in the artist’s psychological landscape. Myatt studies the emotional conditions under which ‘The Scream’ was conceived — a period marked by illness, grief, and an intense preoccupation with fear, love, and mortality.

Today, ‘The Scream’ is regarded as one of the most valuable images in art history. Of the several painted and printed versions created by Munch, In 2012, one of Munch’s pastel versions sold for nearly $120 million, placing the work among the most expensive ever sold at auction, and two have been subject to high-profile thefts — stolen on separate occasions from Norwegian institutions in 1994 and again in 2004, events that only deepened the work’s aura of unease and cultural notoriety.

Few images in modern art carry the emotional intensity and cultural resonance of The Scream by Edvard Munch. While the painted versions are iconic, it was the artist’s lithographic prints that proved crucial in extending the reach of this haunting figure, helping to establish his international reputation as an artist. Around 45 prints were produced before the lithographic stone was re-used, with a small number hand-coloured by Munch himself. John has recreated this process, echoing both the scarcity and the quality of the original editions.

Lithography, a planographic form of printing, relies on the natural resistance between grease and water on a prepared flat surface. After completing the drawing, the prints are created on presses where the alternate use of damping and inking ensures that only the artist’s drawn image receives the application of ink, which is then transferred onto suitable paper to produce the final lithographic print. The lithographic method on stone is the original process, discovered by Alois Senefelder in the late 18th century in Bavaria, where fine-grain limestone formed the basis of his experiments and the principle of grease and water interaction was first realised. A prevalent technique in Fine Art, lithography has been embraced by major artists including Pablo Picasso, David Hockney and Barbara Hepworth.

Today, the process can also involve drawing onto translucent film or paper, with the image transferred to a plate using UV exposure or working from a high-resolution digital file to create films that carry the image information. Our reproduction of John Myatt’s version honours both the enduring power of Munch’s vision and the rich technical heritage of lithography that made its global impact possible.

These unique artworks are each individually hand-finished by Myatt - no two are the same. Each piece bears subtle differences in tone, texture, and emphasis, echoing Munch’s own experimental approach and reinforcing the idea that emotional expression is never fixed.

“The Scream is not about a single moment of fear, but about the universal experience of anxiety. Munch found a way to give that feeling a visual form, and that is what makes the image timeless.” – John Myatt

Not real Black Iron, but works just as well
Size: 42inch Tall (NOT included wood planks), Color: Black
First, these parts that I got were not real Black Iron pipes like you would pick up at a hardware store, they are like furniture grade tubes for an IKEA shelving system. The thread would fit 3/4 pipe from like HD, but they are not the same, I know this because I just bought some of the pipe and parts for a small shelf right before ordering this. I should have known from the price, the real stuff is kind of pricey, but nicer. The elbows and T-connectors as well as the flanges seem more like galvanized steel painted black. HOWEVER, the end product is pretty nice and very versatile as to where you would want to put it. It is still pretty sturdy, and if screwed into a stud, I believe it would hold a lot of weight. The entire shelving system is painted black, so unlike Black Iron, it will not stain your hands black when handling it. Putting this together took about 30 min, the longest part was adjusting angles and lengths to get it flat and squared, but was not hard at all. This kit does NOT come with shelf boards, so length of that is up to you. It also came with mounting screws, but they are thin and I would suggest as your getting boards for shelves, also pick up some beefier screws, U used #12 - 1 1/4" wood screws with the sleeves for drywall and a little longer for securing it into a stud. All in all, this black pipe shelf looks nice, is nice and will work out great, just know, it is not the real Black Iron pipes and parts you would get from a hardware store, but the threads would fit if you wanted to add to this. I only knocked down one star because of this, and if I am going to buy more of these, I would prefer the real stuff and not go with this one.

Love these!!!
Size: 42inch Tall (NOT included wood planks), Color: Black
Super sturdy..looks excellent. Industrial and clean lines....lots of space for our kids bathroom. The wood does not come with it but was easy to get lowes. We actually added another shelf on the top bracket to make 4 shelves. They're nice and wide to fit baskets and organize things. For teenagers bathroom! My husband installed by himself and he isn't the handiest of guys but it it wasn't bad. I do recommend getting pipe fastners to secure the boards to the pipes so they don't shift around

Nice pipe shelves! Excellent quality!
Size: 28inch Tall (NOT included wood planks), Color: Black
I really like the fact that the pieces were already painted. I compared the cost of the unit to buying the pieces from the big box store and this was far more cost effective for me. The installation went well and I ended up creating a template for installation. For the template, I measured the width of one of the flanges (part that mounts to the wall), cut a piece of material the same width. I found the center and drew a line down the middle. I then placed the section with top and bottom holes over the center line and then marked the other two holes. I then drilled out the holes, put on wall and used level to plumb. I used small pilot drill bit to drill through the template into the wall. One thing to note is that I did not use the included anchors instead opting for some from the big box store.

Well built and priced
Size: 42inch Tall (NOT included wood planks), Color: Black
I saw these on line and decided I could probably just build one on my own. After pricing the parts out at the local hardware store, it was almost the same price, and opted for the less hassle pre-fab online kit. The material is well made, same as the hardware store, except the threads are shorter for easier assembly, and its painted for a cleaner look. I bought the 12"Dx42"L kit, and although I knew the measurements, it was a lot more massive than it looked in the picture. An 8' or 10"x 24"L kit would have fit my needs better. I only assembled 2 of the 3 sections, and will use the single section leftover for another shelf elsewhere, so it wasn't a problem. I'm happy with the end result and would recommend.

So beautiful!
Size: 42inch Tall (NOT included wood planks), Color: Black, Size: 42inch Tall (NOT included wood planks), Color: Black
The poles are very sturdy. The order doesn’t come with wood but I only spent ~$15-20 on the wood and stain needed to shelve the poles. The only complaint I have is it was hard to install; mostly due to my lack of experience. It took most of the day to install and stain and cute the shelves. The poles weren’t completely flush to the wall and I couldn’t figure it out for the life of me. I love the way these turned out and I know these shelves will be coming with me to the next home I have. 10/10 would recommend, even with the hard installation. SO worth it.
