Auction: Prints & Multiples / Picasso Ceramics, Oct 23, 2025
NEW YORK, NY -- Doyle held a successful auction of Prints and Multiples on October 23, 2025, showcasing exceptional examples spanning the 17th century to the present day. The sale featured a wide range of Old Master prints, Modern European works, American prints, and works by Contemporary artists.
Highlighting the sale was Roy Lichtenstein’s color lithograph Crying Girl from 1963 realized $95,750, more than doubling its $30,000-40,000 estimate. This popular image was inspired by a June 1963 panel that appeared in the romance comic book imprint, Secret Hearts, published by DC Comics. The print was from the Collection of Alfred H. Barr Jr. (1902-1981), American art historian and the first director of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and thence by descent to his daughter, Victoria Barr (1937-2025).
Also noteworthy was Richard Estes' color lithograph, D-Train, from 1988 -- a masterful example of the artist’s iconic hyper-realistic urban imagery, and his largest print. Estes worked closely with the printers at Edition Domberger to create this monumental work, using 212 colors and over 100 ink layers. The print more than doubled its estimate of $20,000-30,000, selling for $57,600.
