New York | A 58-year-old silkscreen by Andy Warhol has sold at Christie’s for a record $US195 million ($280 million).
The superlatives abound: With the stroke of a gavel, it became the most expensive 20th century artwork to sell at auction on Monday (Tuesday AEST); the most expensive American artwork to sell at auction; and the second most expensive publicly sold artwork in history. (The $US450 million Leonardo da Vinci is still in first place.)
