Zum 100. der Queen versteigert Ketterer Warhol-Gemälde
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.
This sale highlights the enduring market appeal of Warhol's celebrity portraits and the intersection of art, royalty, and commemorative events. The use of diamond dust, a signature Warhol material, adds to the work's value and desirability among collectors, positioning it as a notable piece within the artist's oeuvre and the broader pop art market.
