A top price for Roy Lichtenstein - as previously expected

The work Nurse by Roy Lichtenstein was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2015. The price achieved of USD 95,365,000.00 (€ 90,290,664.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 83,000,000.00 – 120,000,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Nurse is the most expensive artwork by Roy Lichtenstein that we have observed at auctions so far.
