Skåne Auktionsverk holds an online auction on May 24 featuring “The Nun” by Andy Warhol, elegant turn-of-the-century French art, paintings by Oscar Reutersvärd and excellent works of porcelain, jewelry, textiles, furniture, design objects and unique rarities. See the objects and bid here.

 

There is no doubt that the star of the sale is a lithograph by Andy Warhol; a portrait of Ingrid Bergman, posing as a nun.

The subject is taken from a photograph from the film “The Bells of St. Mary” in 1945. The portrait captures Ingrid Bergman in one of the strongest roles of her career. The portrait is part of a series of portraits in which Andy Warhol used Ingrid as his muse
