Recent strength in the Warhol market, including the record $195 million sale of “Shot Sage Blue Marilyn,” has buoyed sentiment ahead of the October 7 Sotheby’s Contemporary Curated auction featuring a 1964 Flowers painting estimated at $2.5–3.5 million. Celebrity curation by Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordyn Woods adds visibility to the lot, which leads the sale alongside other Pop works. Comparable 2026 results for Flowers canvases and multi-part configurations have met or exceeded estimates when provenance and scale are strong, while smaller prints continue trading actively in the mid-five figures. Traders will watch final presale interest and any late bidding dynamics for signals on whether the piece clears the higher price thresholds.
