Andy Warhol’s new record

On the night of the auction, all eyes were on Andy Warhol’s Self-Portrait “Ghost” painting, which sold for $32,562,500, a new record for a Warhol self portrait at auction; more than doubled its $10 million-$15 million estimate, surpassing Christie’s biggest sale of Jasper Johns Flag for $29 million on Tuesday night. Its owner, the fashion designer Tom Ford, was able to watch via the internet from his London home as six bidders pushed up the price as they vied to buy it.
