Iconic Marilyn Monroe image by Andy Warhol coming to auction

NEW YORK (AP) — An iconic image of Marilyn Monroe created by Andy Warhol is coming to auction, with Christie’s auction house estimating the price at around $200 million. The silkscreen image is known as “Shot Sage Blue Marilyn.” It’s a close-up of Monroe with her hair in yellow, her eyeshadow blue and her lips red. It is slated to be part of a week of sales in May. If it met the sale estimate, the 1964 painting would be the most expensive 20th-century artwork to be auctioned. The proceeds of the sale will go to the Thomas and Doris Ammann Foundation Zurich. The foundation helps children with health care and educational programs.
