Warhol Portrait of Brigitte Bardot Sets New Series Record | Bidding Battles

The painting set a new auction record for Warhol’s series of the actress, achieving $24.8 million in tonight’s Now & Contemporary Evening Auction, presented in partnership with CELINE. The striking portrait is one of eight Warhol created of the actress, commissioned by her husband Gunter Sachs. Here, Bardot’s radiant emerald face captivates you with a profound hypnotic intensity. It’s an ode to beauty and celebrity, and it masterfully captures the essence of a 1960s icon.
