One of David Hockney’s famous “pool paintings” is coming to auction and is expected to sell in the US$80mil (RM331mil) range, easily breaking the record for a work by a living artist.
The British artist’s Portrait Of An Artist (Pool With Two Figures), to be auctioned at Christie’s on Nov. 15, is considered one of his premier works. Christie’s has estimated the work at about US$80mil, but says it expects it to sell for more.
