🖼️ The fall art auction season is kicking off in New York City, and the Big Apple’s auction houses are expecting to bring in record-breaking sales
Among the highlights is Christie's Paul G. Allen Collection, which includes more than 150 pieces spanning 500 years. The collection, from the estate of the late Microsoft co-founder, includes works by Pablo Picasso, Georges Seurat, Paul Cezanne and Lucien Freud.
"Our estimate is in the region of $35 million... This painting is an absolute masterpiece by the artist," said Christie's Head of the 21st Century Evening Sale, Isabella Lauria. "The Warhol is estimated to sell in excess of $80 million. There have only been three large scale 'Disasters' to come to market in the past 20 years, and each time one has come up - in 2007 and 2013 - it's reset the auction record for Andy Warhol," said Sotheby's Head of Contemporary Art for the Americas, David Galperin.
