A portrait of actress Marilyn Monroe painted by art icon Andy Warhol will go up for auction in May for $ 200 million, which will set a record.
The work, Shot Sage Blue Marilyn, is the most expensive 20th century painting ever sold at auction.
All proceeds from the sale will go to a foundation, which contributes to improving the lives of children worldwide.
The sale of this painting constitutes the highest-grossing philanthropic auction since the collection of Peggy and David Rockefeller in 2018. The auction house says the highest price paid for a Warhol painting was in 2014 at $ 105 million.
