Christie's and Sotheby's both recently held auctions of contemporary art featuring many Guy Hepner artists and recorded outstanding results. Once again, art enthusiasts were reminded exactly why the genre was originally deemed 'Popular' art: This past week's showing proved the demand for Pop Art continues to match what is available. Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, two artists that defined the period, both available from Guy Hepner, comprised a dominating portion of the lots, and with good reason: Andy Warhol's Moonwalk went for $116,907 while a collection of his portraits, the Mao series, peaked at $768,075. Two more of Warhol's works also went to auction. Warhol's Mick Jagger sold for $69,200, while his rendition of Munch's Scream, The Scream, hit $453,200. Roy Lichtenstein's results were no less impressive. The coloring-book-nudes in Lichtenstein's "Two Nudes," from 1994 auctioned at $290,000. An insatiable demand for Pop Art exists and continues to expand the contemporary art market. Please contact the gallery for further information and availability. Appointments are available 7 days a week for private viewing and discussing your collecting needs. Tel: +1 310.979.0011
