This article is for subscribers only.
Steve Wynn’s Roy Lichtenstein painting titled “Ohhh ... Alright...’’ (1964) could sell for $40 million at Christie’s International on Nov. 10.
At that price, the artist’s Pop depiction of a fetching redhead sighing sadly on the phone would easily top his current $16.3 million auction record. It would also confirm a growing belief among sellers, dealers and auctioneers that the art market has sailed out of the doldrums.
