Warhol's first 'selfie' sells for £6m at 'tight and solid' Sotheby’s sale

If uncertainty hung over the summer season in London after Christies decision to pull its contemporary June sales, Sothebys managed to find its footing with a solid auction last night (28 June). The house took 52.6m (62.4m with fees) against an estimate of 44.3m-60.6m. All but two of the 41 lots sold.The result was up 20% on last Junes sale, which took place just days after the Brexit vote. But a lack of big-ticket works meant this years total was a far cry from the 130m achieved in 2015.&
