That was the day<strong> the Shot Sage Blue Marilyn<\/strong> was sold for $195 million! The most expensive work of art in the world&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An icon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Christie&#8217;s New York, <strong>Shot Sage Blue Marilyn became a record-breaking painting<\/strong>. At $195 million, it is now <strong>the most expensive work <\/strong>and the new auction record for the Pop Art master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The painting, from 1964, was reportedly sold to art dealer Lary Gagosian. &#8220;<em>This was a historic night for Christie&#8217;s and for the contemporary art market as a whole<\/em>&#8221; said Alex Rotter, chairman of Christie&#8217;s 20th and 21st century art departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shot Sage Blue Marilyn was made two years after the death of Marilyn Monroe and is one of a series of five portraits. The title refers to the incident of Dorothy Podber shooting the five stars in a pile with a revolver. Thus, today, this image has remained etched in the visual repertoire of art history. From the beginning of her life until the end, Andy Warhol represented all the stages of Marilyn Monroe&#8217;s career in a diptych.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Shot Sage Blue Marilyn has far surpassed the previous record sale. Indeed, in 2017 the painting Untitled by Jean-Michel Basquiat sold for the &#8220;modest sum&#8221; of 110.5 million euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So maybe it&#8217;s time to invest in contemporary art!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to know more about art?
