On November 14, Christie’s in New York will offer Andy Warhol’s iconic Statue of Liberty, a seminal work from Warhol's greatest and most powerful Pop Art series of the 1960s and one of the most important pictures by the artist ever to come to auction. Appropriating a timeless icon of America and democratic freedom as his own, the painting is a love letter from the fame-struck son of an immigrant family to his beloved New York. Always pushing the boundaries of art, moreover, Andy Warhol’s Statue Liberty is a pioneering example of 3-D painting, the first of its kind.
