On May 12 and 13, Phillips de Pury & Company will be holding a two-part Contemporary Art auction at 450 Park Ave. of works that are currently on view to the public at that location as well as at 450 West 15th St. next to the High Line. Although the auction house is anticipating a sale that could reach more than $130 million, there are many pieces that surprisingly start in the four figures. Among the artists represented are George Condo (“The Housekeeper’s Diary”), Keith Haring (“Untitled [Boxers]”), Takashi Murakami (“Magic Ball 2 [Nega]”), Georgia O’Keeffe (“Yellow Jonquils IV”), Richard Prince (“Untitled Joke Painting”), Damien Hirst (“Tranquility”), John Chamberlain (“Popsicletoes”), Ellsworth Kelly (“Green White”), Joan Mitchell (“Gouise”), David Hockney (“30 Sunflowers”), and Gerhard Richter (“Abstraketes Bild”) in addition to Claes Oldenburg, Ed Ruscha, Yoshitomo Nara, Marlene Dumas, Urs Fischer, Rudolf Stingel, Roy Lichtenstein, Mark Rothko, Cindy Sherman, Donald Judd, Christopher Wool, and several Andy Warhols (“Witch,” “Liz #5,” “Mao [Mao 10]”, “Flowers”).
