Where this exhibition excels is in demonstrating just how driven Munch was to experiment technically. The Gunderson collection specialises in multiple versions of the same work, so you can see the artist thinking through an idea again and again...Where this show fails is that this emphasis on technical detail and close focus on a limited number of themes somehow forgets how to tell a convincing story of the man and his art.
