LONDON - Paintings by Pablo Picasso, Rene Magritte and Joan Miro as well as Banksy’s tribute to Britain’s National Health Service are among a selection of artworks going under the hammer this month at auction house Christie’s 20th Century Art sale.
Another portrait by the Spanish artist, “Femme assise dans un fauteuil noir”, is seen selling for 6 million - 9 million pounds. “It’s all about 20th century art with some 21st century art thrown in as well ... The works in the sale are predominantly fresh to market which is what our clients want,” Keith Gill, co-head of the 20th Century Evening Sale, told Reuters.
“Game Changer”, by elusive British street artist Banksy and depicting a boy playing with a nurse as a superhero rather than Batman and Spiderman, has a price estimate of 2.5 million - 3.5 million pounds.
