Working from Home: Prints and Multiples

In Onkel Rudi, artist Gerhard Richter uses a decades-old photograph to grapple with his uncle’s complicity in the war crimes of Nazi Germany. Rudi, who would soon die in combat, offers a smile for the camera in his SS uniform. Richter’s Onkel Rudi is among the 76 fine art pieces available in the Working from Home: Prints and Multiples event, presented by Christie’s.

Among the auction’s highlighted lots are works by noted Pop artists, including Roy Lichtenstein. An available screenprint titled I Love Liberty is one of 250 copies signed and dated by the artist. In the piece, Lichtenstein recreates the image of the Statue of Liberty as a comic book strip. It was produced in 1982 as part of a national television campaign honoring American history, the I Love Liberty Celebration.

Also available are several works by Andy Warhol, including a 1967 screen print of Marilyn Monroe. Warhol became interested in depicting Monroe shortly after her passing in 1962. He started with the Marilyn Diptych (1962) as a silkscreen painting before transitioning to screenprints. View each of the lots and register to bid in this event on the Christie’s website.
