The 20 Most Expensive Artworks Hitting the Auction Block This Season

The May 2026 New York auctions at Christie’s, Sotheby’s, and Phillips will feature 20 high-value lots priced at $30 million or more, including works by Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Cy Twombly, Gerhard Richter, and others. The sales are staggered around the Venice Biennale and Frieze New York, with Sotheby’s holding its contemporary evening auction on May 14 and Christie’s its 20th-century sale on May 18. Notable consignments come from the estates of S.I. Newhouse, former MoMA board president Agnes Gund, and dealer Marian Goodman.

$60 M. Lichtenstein Comes to the Block at Christie’s, Potentially Joining His Priciest Works at Auction

Christie’s will offer Roy Lichtenstein’s 1964 painting *Anxious Girl* from the collection of legendary New York collector-dealer Holly Solomon and her husband Horace, with an estimate of $40–60 million. If it reaches its high estimate, it will become the artist’s second-priciest work at auction, trailing only *Nurse* (1964), which sold for $95.4 million in 2015. The work leads Christie’s 20th-century evening sale on May 18, amid a flurry of high-value consignments as both Christie’s and Sotheby’s aim to sustain momentum after posting improved 2025 results.

Rare Roy Lichtenstein Work Could Net $60 Million at Auction

A long-lost Roy Lichtenstein painting from his iconic 'Girl' series, *Anxious Girl* (1964), has resurfaced after more than 30 years in a private collection and will be offered at Christie’s 20th Century Evening Sale in New York on May 18. The work, one of only 10 comic-inspired female portraits Lichtenstein produced during his breakthrough period between 1963 and 1965, carries an estimate of $40–60 million. The consignor acquired it from legendary Pop art patrons Horace and Holly Solomon over three decades ago.
