The result for this 1964 work almost doubled the artists’s previous auction record of $105.4 million, set when his 1963 canvassold at Sotheby’s in 2013. The present lot had been held in a private collection for five decades.
With the sale, Christie’s also rode a double-pronged pop culture wave of renewed interest in both Warhol and Monroe. This year, Netflix released a six-part documentary seriesThe Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes . And at the Met Gala just last week, Kim Kardashian appeared in Monroe’s 1962 custom-made nude gown, which the star infamously wore when she sang a breathy “Happy Birthday” to John F. Kennedy, mere months before her death.
Offered without a financial guarantee, the painting hammered at a bid of $170 million, going to Gagosian, the room bidder, for a final price of $195 million. The hammer price was $30 million below the $200 million estimate upon request that Christie’s had given it ahead of the auction.
