Lucian Freud’s “Benefits Supervisor Sleeping” (1995), a large grotesque-realist nude, and Francis Bacon’s “Study for a Self Portrait” (1976), a small triptych, are among the most notable works slated for auction at Christie’s New York Spring Post-War and Contemporary Art Sale, scheduled for May 13. Both pieces are expected to sell for between $25 million and $35 million; unperturbed by the economic slowdown, Christie’s believes the 57-lot auction will generate between $280 million and $390 million, the highest presale estimate ever for the Post-War and Contemporary department.

Leading works of Abstract Expressionism offer additional highlights: Christie’s is especially proud to offer Mark Rothko’s “No. 15” (1952), which the auction house expects to fetch a new record for Rothko, whose work has previously sold for as much as $72.8 million, and Willem de Kooning’s “Untitled IV” (1946), which carries a presale estimate of between $10 million and $15 million.

Andy Warhol’s “Double Marlon” (1966), a silk screen that sets two images of Marlon Brando against a large expanse of blank beige canvas, will also be sold, as will his “Campbell’s Soup Can: Pepper Pot” (1962), one of 32 early soup-can paintings the artist first exhibited at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles in 1962. The painting was acquired for a private collection at the landmark Warhol show, and will change hands for the first time in 46 years.

The catalog also features several more contemporary masterworks, including Gerhard Richter’s “Abstraktes Bild (625),” Richard Prince’s “Man Crazy Nurse #2,” and Cai Guo-Qiang’s “Drawing for Fireworks from Heaven.”
