(2.5M w/ BP) Definitely shocking, but I doubt it will get anywhere close to the absolutely shocking price that Roy Lichtenstein's Masterpiece sold for a couple years ago: At a price point of $165M dollars, it became one of the Top 10 most valuable paintings ever sold in the world.

For 165M I'd buy the highest graded copies of every GA and SA key book. And I'd be so very much happier than owning that painting.

Or with your $165M, you could have brought this painting for $43.5M: and still have more than enough left to buy up the highest graded copies of every GA and SA key comic book. I guess it's probably just a case of us not understanding and appreciating modern abstract art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needed us, we never needed him. }:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems Richard you were very right to acquire a number of those original art pieces.....before this auction....it will be very interesting to see how much the mainstream media picks up on this record upcoming sale and its effects on other items of his art.
