A Roy Lichtenstein painting previously owned by billionaire money bags and sharp elbowed art fancier Steve Wynn made $42.6 million at Christie’s International today.
Titled “Ohhh ... Alright...’’ (1964) this classic Lichtenstein represents Pop Art iconography at it’s most alluring.
The picture topped out the current $16.3 million auction record for the artist.
The Christies New York sale of contemporary and post-war in art achieved $272.8 million in sales. confirming a growing belief that the art market is heading out of the recession.
