NEW YORK (AP) — A group of six Andy Warhol self-portraits from 1986 is expected to bring $25 million to $35 million at auction in New York.
The identical silk-screen images in different colors are slated to be sold Wednesday at Sotheby’s. They show Warhol in his famous “fright wig.”
The sale comes a day after two works from Warhol’s “Death and Disaster” series totaled $100 million and a Barnett Newman painting fetched an artist record of $84.2 million at Christie’s.
Warhol’s “Race Riot, 1964” sold Tuesday for $62.9 million.
His 1962 “White Marilyn” painting of Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe sold for $41 million.
Jeff Koons’ 7-foot-tall stainless steel sculpture “Popeye” is estimated to sell for $25 million at Wednesday’s auction.
