Fair Warning Expands With Saara Pritchard, Doubling Down on ‘Conviction’ in a Crowded Art Market

Loïc Gouzer’s boutique auction app, Fair Warning, is expanding its leadership by appointing Saara Pritchard, a veteran specialist from Christie’s and Sotheby’s, as a partner. Since its 2020 launch, the platform has carved out a niche by rejecting the high-volume model of traditional auction houses in favor of a highly curated, "one work at a time" approach. This strategy has proven lucrative, recently achieving a record $16.7 million for an Andy Warhol portrait and a $4.07 million record for Elizabeth Peyton.

The Munich-based auction house Ketterer Kunst is offering a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Andy Warhol for sale at its auction on June 12. The work is a silkscreen print enhanced with diamond dust and carries a pre-sale estimate of €150,000 to €250,000. The auction coincides with what would have been the late Queen's 100th birthday year.
