One of the most famous Marilyn Monroe images, painted by the late great Andy Warhol, is going up on the auction block -- and expected to fetch a pretty penny
This particular Warhol is known as"Shot Sage Blue Marilyn" -- there are 5 other versions in this Monroe series, each in a different color.
It comes from a collection owned by Swiss siblings, and all the proceeds will go to their Thomas and Doris Ammann Foundation, which benefits children causes. If the painting goes for $200 mil ... it will nearly double Warhol's previous auction record -- $105 million for a painting called"Silver Car Crash ."
Already, the buzz about the Marilyn auction has brought back interest in all things Warhol, and his Netflix doc is trending again. On top of breaking a record for 20th-century art, if sold at this price, it would make it the second most expensive artwork overall to ever sell at auction ... runner-up to a $450 mil
