A Little Flower Painting: Yellow, White, and Purple Flowers by the artist is one of the leading lots in the upcoming Prints & Multiples Monthly Online Auction, offered by Heritage Auctions. The offset color lithograph was published by Kaikai Kiki Ltd, an art production and management company founded by Murakami.

Another key lot is a color lithograph from Sam Francis’ Portfolio 9. Francis was influenced by Abstract Expressionists such as Arshile Gorky and Clyfford Still, especially in his early years. To view the complete catalog and register to bid online, visit Heritage Auctions.
