Sotheby's upcoming evening sale of contemporary art scheduled for May 9th will include Roy Lichtenstein’s Sleeping Girl from 1964. The picture is expected to fetch between $30 and $40 million. Before the auction Sleeping Girl is set for a major city world tour touching hot spots like Los Angeles, Hong Kong, London and New York.
“Lichtenstein’s ‘girls’ are arguably his most desirable works today and Sleeping Girl has been coveted since it was acquired in 1964, the year it was painted. It is astonishingly fresh and vibrant, as if it were painted yesterday,” said Tobias Meyer, Sotheby’s worldwide head of Contemporary Art.
