A famous Andy Warhol silkscreen of Marilyn Monroe sold for $195 million on Monday (09.05.22) night - 12-May-2022
The iconic 'Shot Sage Blue Marilyn' - which was painted in 1964 - became the most expensive piece of American art ever sold when gallery owner and art dealer Larry Gagosian splurged on the painting at a Christie's sale in York, shattering the previous record, which was set in 2017 when $110.5 million was paid for a 1982 skull painting by Jean-Michael Basquiat
