During the spring art auctions, Sotheby's sold an $190 million (£127.9 million) in post-war and contemporary art. By comparison, the same auction a year ago managed only $47 million (£31.65 million).
Only three of the 53 lots on offer went unsold at the auction house as it easily exceeded the sale's estimate of $162 million (£109.08 million).

I would not pay 32 cents for a Warhol but that is just my taste. It appears the art market is picking up this year.

The going price of an original Warhol is partially manipulated by a wealthy family that seeks to protect the value of their own Warhol holdings.

Article doesn’t give the dimensions of the piece or even the number of them that were made (likely on different colored canvases). Only the year (1986).
