The cover lot of Christie’s Nov. 10 contemporary auction is Roy Lichtenstein’s masterful 1964 Pop canvas Ohhh…Alright…, with an estimate on request ($40 million to $60 million) and no officially disclosed seller.

(It’s true, WSJ scribe Kelly Crow named Wynn in her Oct. 1 story about the painting, but Christie’s press materials make no mention of Wynn).

Yet as any reader of the November issue of Architectural Digest will discover, there is the same Lichtenstein, hanging on the cobalt blue walls of Steve Wynn’s TV room in his Vegas villa. Did the  Arch Digest folks realize the story was something of a promo for Christie’s auction?

I wonder what Wynn plans to hang in the vacated spot? Not sure his recently acquired Rembrandt will look quite so punchy against the blue.
