Recently, Roy Lichtenstein’s Sleeping Girl from 1964 sold for a record-breaking $44.8 million USD at Sotheby’s Evening Sale of Contemporary Art. The comic book-inspired and postwar American art phenomenon beat last year’s record sale of $43.2 million USD set at Christie’s back in November. Tobias Meyer, director of Sotheby’s contemporary art department worldwide and the evening’s auctioneer, said after the sale, “Great icons make great prices.” Sleeping Girl has not appeared on the market since it was purchased by noted West Coast collectors and philanthropists Beatrice and Phillip Gersh from the Ferus Gallery in 1964. In the 48 years since its purchase, the painting has been exhibited only once – in the 1989-1990 Museum of Contemporary Art exhibition “Selections.” You know what they say, blondes really do have more fun

The latest from Crane.tv finds the video magazine exploring one of the art world’s most enigmatic duos – Gilbert & George – whose latest exhibition “London Pictures” showcases 292 pictures based on 3,712 newspaper bills they’ve stolen over the past six years from select newsagents in East and North London. Crane.tv visited the pair at White Cube Bermondsey to talk about their political leanings, and what are some key themes that drive them both in their every day existences as well as their artistic endeavors.
