A pivotal painting by Willem de Kooning is expected to sell for up to £12 million at an upcoming auction. The artwork, which has been valued at around £10 million, will be sold alongside pieces by renowned artists including Andy Warhol, David Hockney, Banksy, and Yayoi Kusama. The auction, scheduled for this month, marks a significant moment in the art market as De Kooning’s work continues to gain recognition.
The painting, believed to be from the 1950s, is part of a collection of modern masterpieces being offered for sale. Experts have noted its historical importance and the strong demand from collectors.
