Roy Lichtenstein’s Collage for Nude with Red Shirt sold for £2,729,250 at the Post-War & Contemporary Art Evening Sale in London on 30 June, far above the pre-sale estimate of £600,000 - £800,000, and setting a new record price for a work on paper by the artist. With its beautifully conceived composition, bold colors, and meticulous and playful manipulation of the collage technique, Collage for Nude with Red Shirt, stands as an impressive example of the artist's late work.
