The Art Newspaper took paddle notes last night at Phillips de Pury’s evening sale. They noticed that the buyer of the $27m Warhol Liz #5 also nabbed a few more works:
The same client also bought the Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat collaboration, Third Eye, 1985, for $6.2m (total $7m with buyers premium, est $2m-$3m) and Lisa Yuksavage’s Northview (Impressionist Jacket), 2000 for $900,000 (total $1.1m, est $1m-$1.5m), a painting of a scantily-clad female that auctioneer Simon de Pury called “a particularly attractive northern view”.
