Andy Warhol’s Liz, Jackie and Judy may help Sotheby’s sell as much as $57 million of his celebrity portraits at its bellwether auctions next month in New York.
A rarely seen silkscreen of actress Elizabeth Taylor, estimated at about $30 million, will lead the Nov. 11 and 12 sales of portraits of seven female actresses, singers and socialites. The 1963 “Liz #3 (Early Colored Liz),” one of Warhol’s earliest of the late movie star, has been on public view only once since 1972.
