Hockney
Hotel Acatlán: Two Weeks Later
$140,200 USD
Part of the Moving Focus series, the Hotel Acatlán prints were born out of seeming frustration or, better said, an unfortunate mechanical issue with his car. Much to the benefit of 20th Century art, whilst travelling to Mexico City Hockney’s car experienced troubles forcing the artist to stop on route. Hotel Acatlán: Second Day is based on sketches made of the hotel courtyard shortly after his arrival. On his return journey, the sketches that he produced were later crafted into Hotel Acatlán: Two Weeks Later which also refers to one of his earliest prints, his 1954 portrait of his mother, Woman with a Sewing Machine.

Andy Warhol
Mick Jagger
$121,150 USD
Warhol’s use of mixed media – photography, drawing and screenprinting, further add to the vibrancy of the work. Perhaps the energetic and faithful nature of this portrayal is owed to the fact the two men shared a real friendship. Warhol and Jagger first met at a party in New York City in 1964, during the band’s first U.S tour. Warhol designed the Rolling Stones’ album cover for Sticky Fingers in 1971, and by the time he painted this series, had known Mick for over ten years.

Roy Lichtenstein
Sweet Dreams Baby
$83.050
Taken from the 11 Pop Artists, a three part portfolio commissioned in 1965, which brought together prints by emerging artists of the time who engaged in printmaking. Sweet Dreams Baby is one of Lichtenstein's most cherished works. The work intricately weaves together verbal and visual elements, highlighting the juxtaposition between words and a visually compelling illustration. Famously referred to as the "pow print," it features a punch depicted alongside the emphatic word "pow!"

Keith Haring
Silence = Death
$76,100 USD
The garish shock of fuchsia against a black background create a stark visual contrast that is fitting for Haring’s serious subject matter. The pink shape also reclaims an inverted triangle symbol that the Nazis used to label homosexuals in internment camps, but would later be reinvented as a symbol of pride here.
The iconography of Silence=Death is directly tied to the political moment at the time of its creation. Tightly packed figures traverse the entirety of the image, covering their eyes and ears: a visual metaphor for the wilful blindness and lack of action surrounding the epidemic.
