A self-portrait by Andy Warhol has been sold $ 17 million at Christie’s auction Wednesday in London. This is more than two times the estimated value before the auction. Christie’s said that the work was part of a private collection since 1974. This is one of eleven self-portraits of the same series. The painting was completed in 1967 when Andy Warhol, the most important Pop Art figure, was at the top of his career. Christie’s said the portrait was acquired by an anonymous buyer. |
