Recent strength in the Warhol market, capped by the record $195 million sale of “Shot Sage Blue Marilyn” at Christie’s on September 17, has lifted trader expectations for the specific “Flowers” canvas heading to Sotheby’s Contemporary Curated sale on October 7. Comparable 1964 Flowers paintings have achieved strong results this year, including a four-foot example realizing $7.43 million and smaller canvases clearing estimates in the low-to-mid seven figures when provenance and scale align. Prints from the series continue trading actively in the mid-five to low-six figures, underscoring sustained collector demand. Resolution hinges on the final hammer price plus buyer’s premium at the upcoming auction, with any late consignment details or broader Pop Art momentum likely to influence final bids.
