The top lot of Christie's 10 November Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Sale in New York was Roy Lichtenstein's Pop Art masterpiece Ohhh...Alright... which achieved $42,642,500, establishing a new world auction record for the artist. Painted in 1964 using his signature Ben-Day dots, Lichtenstein’s image of a blue-eyed, flame haired beauty illustrates the brash comic styling of the artist’s most celebrated period of artistic production.
