description 997 Munch paintings from Edvard Munch’s estate (The Ekely Collection) were examined to evaluate the ‘Kill-or-Cure’ theory; that Munch exposed paintings to the weather in order to change their appearance. The findings were related to written sources, photo­graphs and Munch’s exhibition strategies. The conclusion is that Munch most likely did not use the weather as an artistic instrument, and that the condition of many of the paintings in The Ekely Collection is due to practical circumstances, poor storage, and the artist’s extraordinary negligence.
