Andy Warhol work not seen in public for 15 years could fetch $80m at auction

White Disaster (White Car Crash 19 Times) to go under the hammer in New York

Six months after a vivid image of Marilyn Monroe smashed records when it sold for $195m, a rather more dark and brutal work by the cult pop artist Andy Warhol may also be about to fetch a large sum.

White Disaster (White Car Crash 19 Times) - repeated graphic black and white images across a huge canvas measuring 12ft tall and 6ft wide - is expected to sell for at least $80m in New York next month.
