A colossal Andy Warhol painting of a car crash could sell for over $80 million
Andy Warhol may be best known for his pop art iconography of Marilyn Monroe, Chairman Mao and Campbell's soup cans, but next month, a"haunting" silkscreen print of a mangled car crash will be up for sale at Sotheby's in New York. Going under the hammer on November 16 during the auction house's marquee week, It is expected to sell for upwards of $80 million, according to a press statement.
In"White Disaster," Warhol duplicated a single image of an automobile accident 19 times in black and white. At 12 feet tall and 6 feet wide, it is the largest of his car crash works."What distinguishes is not only its immense scale, which really bewilders anybody who stands in front of it ...
"These ideas of celebrity, tragedy, fame, death — these are the themes that occupied Warhol and I think that the series he was working on simultaneously, the Marilyn paintings and the"Death and Disaster paintings, are intricately linked," Galperin said.Emmanuel Dunand/AFP/Getty Images
