Andy Warhol

The Marilyn Monroe portrait by Andy Warhol fetched US$ 195 million on Monday at the auction house Christie's in New York. The 1964 silk-screen portrait is ...

Meanwhile, the most expensive Warhol painting is ”Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster)”, which fetched US$ 104.5 million in 2013. Standing alongside Botticelli's Birth of Venus, Da Vinci's Mona Lisa, and Picasso's Les Demoiselle d'Avignon, Warhol's Marilyn is one of the greatest paintings of all time.” The nickname was born when a visitor to Warhol's “Factory” studio in Manhattan fired a gun at them, piercing the portraits which were later repaired.

Andy Warhol's iconic portrait of actress Marilyn Monroe set against a sage blue background, called Shot Sage Blue Marilyn, has become the most expensive ...

The Red Shot Marilyn was bought by Greek billionaire Philip Niarchos in 1994 at Christie’s for $3.63 million. In 1967, the Blue Shot Marilyn was bought by business magnate Peter Brant, who was just 20 at the time. on which it is based, bears witness to her undiminished visual power in the new millennium. In 1998, the Orange Shot Marilyn was bought for $17.3 million before being sold to American businessman Kenneth C Griffin for a price rumoured to be in the realm of $250 million. The Shot Marilyns consisted of four canvases, each square measuring 40 inches, of a painting of Marilyn Monroe, each shot through the forehead by a bullet. Shot Sage Blue Marilyn was part of the Shot Marilyns series created by Warhol in 1964.

Unlike the Christie's retread, the Pop Master's 1962 “Green Marilyn” was crudely silk-screened, with blotches that convey the decay of a fallen star.

The 1964 Marilyns were also offered in multiple hues, but they had none of the messes that had added a hint of decay to Warhol’s first Marilyns, making them look handmade and heartfelt. As “mere” repetitions of the 1962 works, the retreads invoked the replication that powers consumer culture. He and his assistants referred to the 1964 retreads as “Dead Paintings.” (In addition to the Marilyns, Warhol was being paid to repeat the Campbell’s Soup paintings that had first won him attention in 1961.) But Warhol’s move toward repetition made a kind of sense, artistically: How better to talk about popular culture and its commodification than by letting your art plunge right inside? You could say that in 1964, with the viewer-friendly repeats of his Marilyns, Warhol was embracing the movement’s new popularity, making works that were not just Pop Art but also truly popular art. If I were a collector — in 1964, or 2022 — I’d certainly prefer to have one of those over my sofa than one of the sad, tough versions from 1962. The original Marilyns from 1962 had been strange, distressed images, crudely silk-screened to leave blotches and blank spots that convey the decay and distress of the fallen movie star — it’s said Warhol conceived them right after Marilyn’s death, though there’s reason to believe that’s a myth.

Andy Warhol has been dead for 35 years, and his mark on American art is indelible, and now there is even more proof of the artist's standing, ...

The Marilyn just beat the previous sales record by a mile, and there's a great story behind this. Andy thought she meant with a camera, but she pulled out a gun and fired shots in 4 of the 5 paintings, hitting the image in the forehead. Legend has it ... a performance artist named Dorothy Podber went by Andy's studio -- The Factory -- and asked if she could "shoot" the paintings.

Writer-director Andrew Rossi uses Andy Warhol's own words to offer insight into the artist's personal life for the Netflix docu-series.

“You can get so much more meaning from his paintings when you think of Andy as a queer figure, who is looking for his place in the world,” Rossi says. And there are still issues until this day of looking at the work in connection to this queer identity and this sidelining the work that is overtly about queer desire. The series uses Warhol’s own words — and a version of his voice, as he provides “narration” with the help of AI technology and readings from actor Bill Irwin — to offer a side of Warhol little seen (or heard) outside of his circle of collaborators, employees, superstars and hangers-on at the famed Factory in New York.

One of Andy Warhol's portraits of Marilyn Monroe is now the most expensive 20th-century artwork ever sold at auction.

"This sale demonstrates the pervasive power of Andy Warhol as well as the lasting legacy that he continues to leave behind in the art world, popular culture, and society." "The record-breaking sale of Warhol's iconic portrait of Marilyn from the Collection of Thomas and Doris Ammann is a testament to the strength, the vibrancy, and the overall excitement of the art market today," Rotter said. As expected, an iconic Andy Warhol portrait of Marilyn Monroe has set a new record, becoming the most expensive 20th-century artwork ever sold at an auction.

Warhol is shot in the summer of 1968 one month before Basquiat is hit by a car. “The Warhol Basquiat collaboration is so important for both of them. For Basquiat, he’s finally reaching the inner sanctum of the art world with exhibitions abroad and in New York, with people like Mary Boone. When he meets Warhol, he is already this hot, contemporary artist on the scene. “Warhol is white. Warhol died in 1987 and Basquiat in 1988. “It’s a healthy competition. Basquiat and Warhol began collaborating and competing in 1982. We see this in his commercial illustrations of the 1950s and 1960s for I. Miller and Glamour magazine. Jessica Beck, the Milton Fine curator of art at The Andy Warhol Museum on the North Side, said “Shot Sage Blue Marilyn” is “an exceptional painting” partly because of when the Pittsburgh-born artist painted it. The yellow and the green just glow together.” The Andy Warhol Museum does not have an acquisition fund to buy artwork. By 1964, Warhol is refining his silkscreen process,” Beck said Tuesday.

Une vente éclair, pour ce portrait culte, qui devient en moins de 4 minutes, l'œuvre d'art la plus chère du XXe siècle vendue aux enchères.

De son côté, Christie's n'a pas fait de commentaires sur l'identité de l'acheteur de l'œuvre. Le précédent record de vente pour une œuvre du XXe siècle revenait au tableau "Les Femmes d'Alger" de Picasso, vendu en mai 2015 pour 179,4 millions de dollars. C'est un véritable record de vente, mais aussi une œuvre que tout le monde connaît.

Elle n’a toutefois pas dépassé le montant du Salvator Mundi de Léonard de Vinci, adjugé en 2017 pour 450,3 millions de dollars. Avant la vente, l’œuvre a été estimée à 200 millions de dollars. Elle est la nouvelle œuvre du XXe siècle la plus chère au monde.

Un acheteur a déboursé 195 millions de dollars pour acquérir le célèbre portrait de Marilyn Monroe signé Andy Warhol aux enchères de New York.

Autre indice en faveur de la rumeur : l'enchère a été emportée dans la salle par le galeriste américain Larry Gagosian, un des galeristes préférés de Bernard Arnault, qui lui avait facilité par le passé l'acquisition de plusieurs toiles importantes. Le week-end précédent, Bernard Arnault en déplacement privé à New York, est allé chez Christie’s voir le tableau d’Andy Warhol, qui est un de ses artistes préférés. Il en possède plusieurs œuvres. De plus, il aime remporter les trophées dans les ventes aux enchères et cette Marylin de Warhol en est un. "Il y a de la tension dans la pièce", dit il.

Pour décrocher la palme de l’œuvre du XXe siècle la plus chère des ventes, Christie’s avait mis la barre très haut, lundi soir, à New York, en donnant une estimation de 200 millions de dollars à la Shot Sage Blue Marilyn d’Andy Warhol (1964). Outre la portée mythique de cette image du roi du pop art américain, son pedigree, la fondation des illustres défunts marchands suisses, Thomas Ammann et sa sœur Doris, était censée la propulser au sommet. Comme si la pandémie était un souvenir déjà lointain, la maison de François Pinault (présent à la vente!) était repartie dans la compétition. Elle se devait de faire plus que les 179,4 millions de dollars (avec frais) atteints par Les Femmes d’Alger, de Picasso, en 2015.

Andy Warhol's 'Shot Sage Blue Marilyn' made double history last night as the most costly painting ever sold by a US artist.

Le portrait de Marilyn Monroe par l'artiste pop Andy Warhol est désormais l'œuvre d'art d'un artiste américain la plus chère jamais vendue aux enchères ...

L’œuvre fait partie des « Shot Marilyns » de Warhol, une série de toiles présentant le portrait de la star dans un éventail de couleurs. Parmi les propriétaires déclarés des toiles « Shot Marilyns » figurent le milliardaire des casinos et des complexes touristiques Steve Wynn, l’industriel et éditeur Peter Brant, le milliardaire des fonds spéculatifs Steve Cohen, l’héritier milliardaire du transport maritime grec Philip Niarchos et le défunt éditeur S. I. Newhouse Jr. Le produit de la vente aux enchères de lundi sera versé à la fondation éponyme des Ammann, qui soutient des œuvres de bienfaisance en faveur des enfants. Andy Warhol est resté une icône de la culture pop plus de trois décennies après sa mort en 1987.

At 77, the mega-art dealer known as Go-Go shows no signs of stopping.

And in a full circle worth of Jasper Johns, Gagosian once sold the very Marilyn portrait he bought this week. When asked about his future plans by WSJ a few years ago, he laughed and declared: “Gagosian is going to go on forever!” Noted Basquiat fan Jay-Z even name-dropped the dealer in a 2010 song with Kanye West— “Call Larry Gagosian, you belong in museums.” He began in the 1970s by selling poster prints of ocean views out of a parking lot in Los Angeles for $20 apiece, before influential New York art dealer Leo Castelli took him under his wing. An art world titan for decades, Gagosian has 19 eponymous galleries from New York to Hong Kong, and is widely believed to surpass nine figures in annual sales. Like Warhol and Monroe, the buyer, art dealer Larry Gagosian, is also a familiar face.
